A bit of a weird issue I discovered last night. I was hooking my vcr back up to test out some tapes, and came across something weird. At first, I thought there wasn't any sound, but it was just that I had to turn up the volume...a lot. This is where the issue came in. The sound seemed to be coming strictly from the right. I checked and the av wires are connected in the right spot.
I set my receiver to stereo, at which I discovered that the sound was coming from only the center speaker and the front right speaker. I unplugged the left audio wire and nothing was affected. This whole issue isn't really that bad, as I can balance the sound to get stereo, but I'd really like to have multi channel stereo for a fuller sound. But I'll take what I can get.
Just to check, I plugged my Wii back in (I had unplugged it to plug in the vcr) and the sound is in proper stereo. I'm thinking that the left channel connection on the vcr is broken....but if that's so, why would the right channel connection be coming through the front and right speakers and not just the right channel ?
Maybe I just left the vcr sitting for too long, at least a year I think at this point, and the left channel decided to break on me. Otherwise, the vcr works fine.
Any ideas ? It's a Denon AVRS530BT, if that will help any. I'm good with tech, but even so, there are times I don't know how to troubleshoot. I'm thinking a different vcr is in order.
