Got an annoying problem with a JVC HR-J270EK VHS VCR. It will record over the video track on a tape (in SP or LP) and play that back correctly. It won't record over the audio track (so the previous audio remains (played at the speed the video is recorded). If it recorded silence I would possibly be less surprised.
Any ideas? I know it's old (was an an insurance replacement in early
2000) but it worked up until recently for recording the odd program either from a dedicated Nokia 9850T or the internal analogue tuner. Just bought a 32" Bravia and this VCR I intended to keep on another TV for occasional use.Tools available: 4.5" angle grinder, axe, 2lb hammer ;-) Seriously though, I'd be OK with popping the lid to attempt an easy fix if anyone knows what might be up.
Cheers
