Audio Question -- Zipper noise when using Hi-Fi Option on JVC HR-S5912U

[DeXeSs]

Hello Everyone (Happy Holidays!)

I am using a JVC HR-S5912U and ADVC 300 to capture video; cables are 3 ft. Acoustic Research Master Series S-Video and Stereo.

Has anyone ever experienced a zipper-style noise when attempting to play back VHS on the Hi-Fi mode?

If anyone can provide any insight into this, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

play the vhs in norm mode (for the audio)

Thank you for the response!

Is NORM still a "Stereo" output?

Thanks!

Noise in HiFi FM sound is an indication of tracking problems. The FM sound goes before the video so use HiFi sound for fine tracking control.

Linear tracks "normal" may be mono or stereo but are lower quality.

Hey edDV

Thanks for the respo. Are you saying I should try to manually adjust the tracking?

Thanks!

Yes, if you can. Or the VCR needs sevicing or the tape was recorded on a VCR that was out of alignment.

Haha... ugh... I really don't want to get it serviced if I don't have to. Might be necessary.

Thanks!
