SA Footy

Ok, I tried google but my question/s didn't even make sense to me.

Hoping one of you fine folk at safooty can help me here please.

Firstly, I have 4 DVD/VCR combos so I'll mention them first as 1, 2, 3 and 4 so it's easier to understand which one I'm talking about later on.

DVD/VCR 1 - PANASONIC - the DVD is a DVD recorder, only bought last week.
DVD/VCR 2 - PANASONIC - the DVD is a DVD recorder (exact same as above in fact), a few months old.
DVD/VCR 3 - SAMSUNG - the DVD is not a recorder, couple of years old.
DVD/VCR 4 - LG - the DVD is not a recorder, a few years old.


ok now the situation, I have thousands of VCR tapes (mostly footy and movies) I am putting onto DVDs, now the ones I record onto machine number 1 above have no sound when I play them back on DVD/VCR 2 (exact same model) but recorded on number 2 have no problems when played back on number 1. Both have no problems when played back on machines 3 or 4. Have 2 models the same so I can have both machines running while I'm at work and even overnight so to get through all the tapes in half the time basically.

So what is recorded on machine 1 is fine picture wise on machine 2 but there is no sound. Do I need to change some setting or something on machine 2?

Any help greatly appreciated.

the only way is to set them up side by side and go through every single setting to make sure they are the same

Might be easier to grab a vcr capture device and burn them to DVD via the PC.
