Here is some background: I have a few VCR tapes that were compiled from old reels many years ago by a local company. In order to play these tapes and hear the sound on the DMR-E75V, I have to press the "Audio" button 3 times. The manual says that the order selected by pressing the "Audio" button is: Stereo -> L -> R -> Normal audio track -> back to Stereo. So assuming it starts with Stereo, pressing 3 times brings me to "Normal audio track", which I assume means "Mono". Now, I want to create a DVD from this VCR tape, so I followed the directions on p.58 for One Tocuh Transfer dubbing. I also finalized the DVD when it has completed. The problem is, when I play the DVD, there is no sound, only video. I made sure before I started dubbing that I could hear the sound from the tape, yet as the tape played during recording, I could see the video but I did not hear any audio. My guess is that somehow the DVD recorder is expecting to record stereo from the VCR tape, but since the tape is recorded in mono, the DVD recorder does not find the audio signal to record. But, I really have no idea what the problem is. I am sure I have made dubbed videos from some of these tapes before, and there is probably some trick to the settings to get the DVD to record the audio correctly, but I cannot for the life of me figure it out. Any help appreciated!

Try the Manual. It has a finalizing section. This is the link above.. Pat

Hi
This is probably caused by an irregular magnetic encoding pattern being generated by the tape itself. If the DVD recorder does not fully recognise the code, it may incorrectly interpret it as copy protected. If there is any tape flutter or there are tape edits, these can contribute to the problem. In addition to this magnetic imprinting can occur on old tapes that have been stored for a number of years without being spooled. basically wrong bits of the tape get magnetised. You can sometimes hear an echo on old tape recordings caused by imprinting.
You could try the following:
1) If available, try using a different video machine to play back and record from.
2) Whatever video machine you use, put your tape in, fully fast forward and rewind a couple of times, then try your recording again. This is particularly important if you haven't used the tape for some time.
3) If it fails again, check to see if it always fails at the same point.
4) If it does, try winding forward a little and then try to resume recording.
5) If you can record it means that a short section of tape is giving a spurious code to your dvd recorder and confusing it.
6) Use a re-recordable dvdrw to make a master. You won't keep wasting discs if the recording stops. You will also be able to produce another dvd from your master and edit it if your recording ends up in a number of segments.
7) Always use the highest quality setting possible when producing a master.
8) If all else fails, if you have a friend with another dvd recorder, maybe try that.
Have fun....

you will need to finalise the disc in your DVD recorder before it will play on any other equipment

I have to agree with XELIAM regarding finishing the disk, under the DVD "FUNCTIONS" selection from the remote. I also use the SLYSOFT products to transfer my videos to what ever other mode of video I wish to have, whether iPOD (MP4), or DIVX (AVI) or loads of other options. Slysoft makes a GREAT product

Thank you for the quick replies! As far as the manual, as I mentioned, I am following the manual and I have finalized the DVD. I don't think the problem is with Input Select, as I can create the DVD video just fine. I can also successfully dub other VCR tapes without problem, so the issue seems to pertain to just this particular tape. The only difference between the tapes that successfully dub and the one that does not dub the audio is that, with the problem tape, I have to press the "Audio" button three times to select the "Normal audio track" setting in order to hear the audio when playing the tape. I do not have to do this with other tapes that dub fine. It's as if, if you change the audio setting to play the tape, that there needs to be a corresponding change to the DVD record setting to tell the recorder how the VCR audio is set, but there is no such setting on the VCR side. I also don't understand why, after I set the VCR audio in this way, the audio plays fine until I start to dub, then the setting seems to be reset and I hear no audion while the tape is being dubbed to DVD.
