Kevin, Is there audio at the audio output jack? in both modes? if so, the RF modulator or power to it. may be bad If not, the switching IC or power to it may be bad. Does what it records on a tape play in other VCR's if not it is in circuits shared by both play and record. Just Suggestions.

It does have AUDIO when in TUNER mode. I cleaned the video head and audio head as well as checked the audio head. The tracking is also okay. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
