The VCR has no normal Audio and NO hi fi audio when in playback. I tried it through the AUDIO/VIDEO jacks and had NO AUDIO. I tried recording a tape and playing it on a known good VCR and it played with AUDIO on the good VCR. I did notice today when in TUNER mode the pix had black tears coming across the screen, so I am now assuming there may be a Power supply problem.
