I have two stereo VCR'S connected. VCR 1 is an older Sears 2 head unit,
VCR 2 is a newer, 4-head unit. VCR 1 has the antenna going into its
coax connection, and is connected to the composite (i.e.
yellow/white/red) audio/video connections of VCR 2. VCR 2's composite
audio/video is output to the tv and stereo speakers. I have them set up
this way to take advantage of VCR 1's apparent greater sensitivity to
local broadcast channels, using one of those WalMart adjustable
antennas going into a 12db amplifier box.
Here's the odd thing - I get a great stereo image off the antenna -
i.e. antenna>amplifier>VCR1>VCR 2>receiver/speakers. I get a great
stereo image playing a tape in VCR 1 (again, going through VCR 2 before
hitting the speakers). However, playing a broadcast quality country
music video video (made for tv station broadcast) that sounds big as a
house when played in VCR 1, obviously is coming out mono from VCR 2.
VCR 2 *does* play other tapes in stereo, no problem.
Why would this be? When played in VCR 1, the signal has to go through
VCR 2 to get to the speakers, so why would VCR 2 not play this
particular video in stereo? Is there more than one kind of stereo
signal on VHS tapes? I would have thought they'd all be standardized.
Thanks.
