Recording Audio on VCRs
I use my Sharp VC-H976 VCR to record audio from radio. There's an AV
input right on the front and I can use the timer. I connect two RCA chords from my stereo receiver to the AV input and leave the video input empty. It works great, so I decided to buy a second VCR, daisy chain them, and use this rig to record music marathons (more than 8 hours). I found a SONY SLV-675HF at Salvation Army for $15-it plays tapes and has Hi-Fi circuitry. Trouble is, it won't record from my stereo: I tried it and got a completely blank tape. I know from experience some VCRs won't play VHS without video. I found this out when I recorded a CD onto my VCR and tried to play it on another machine: It played back on my machine but not the other one. My question is: Do certain brands not record audio only? If so, which should I try and which should I avoid? Or is this a generational problem, i.e., will most (all) VCRs not work this way if manufactured after a certain date? I hope this is an appropriate question for this group. Thanks in advance! |
