VCR plays tape with only sound and some channels seem deleted.

Although I did not manage to find the manual for this combo set, to check it fully, it seems that maybe someone pressed the remote button marked "Input Selection" that selects each one of the audio/video inputs of the set.

Press it two or three times and check if it cycles the inputs till a TV channel shows on the screen.

Hope this info can help you!

press the tv on the remote. if you want to use the vcr. press vcr on the remote.

You need to autoprogram your channels with the Remote that came with the VCR combo. The Tape issue is common with many older TV VCR combo units. Put a tape in that is rewound and hit stop and then tune in your channels.

It depends on the way you have the combo set up, your instruction manual shows you different ways of doing this, but to answer the question it would be channel 3 or 4 if you are using the RF out ot OUT to TV connector in the back of your combo. You can also view tape and disc playback if you set the TV for VID1 or VID2 if you are using the rca dubbing cables(yellow-red-white).I hope this helps!

did you check the channel select swith on the toshiba?

Try adjusting tracking to detent Sounds like audio heads are miss aligned . Does your unit have audio levels if so turn them up when recording. Try adjusting tracking or try patching recording unit to the tv .If it has L/R video inputs use the same deck you recorded on for playback. .

I'm stoopid. I pressed the Audio button on the remote control and discovered that the selection was set to SAP however no secondary audio was present resulting in no audio. It's no my TV so I am unfamiliar with the remote functions.

Thanks

The proper hookup is antenna or cable into the VCR RF/antenna input, then VCR RF/antenna output to the TV RF input. The hookup you describe means no signal is getting to the VCR.

With some TVs, there can be Video and audio output jacks which can be hooked to the video and audio jacks of the VCR. However this would likely mean you could only record the channel being watched, and, the TV would have to be on.

check out the tip in my profile or use a wet cleaning tape

go to channel 1 if there is no audio/video switch or you can use the rf mudulator
