Greetings
I have Sony TV set (model; KDL-32L4000) and a Deawoo VHS recorder (old style with a signal audio jack). The problem is, the VHS recorder plays sound but no picture. I know that the TV is getting a video signal from the VHS player, since I can call up the VHS player’s menu, etc. and it looks just fine. But when it’s on ‘play’ there is only snow. This is the 2nd VHS player that I’ve hooked up to this TV set and it was the same with that one as well. The whole thing started a few weeks ago when my son brought over his Xbox video games. He plugged it in and played for a while, and everything looked good to me. After he left, I went to watch a movie on the VHS player, and it gave me no picture but good sound. I tried the 2nd VHS player and it worked great for about 45 minutes, then it too went to no picture but just sound. The really weird thing is, if I fast forward (or reverse) the VHS player while it’s on ’play’, you can see the movie just fine! But as soon as you disengage the fast forward, it reverts back to a snowy picture (if you play with the tracking, you can often get a very fuzzy visual of the flic). Grasping at straws, I bought a liquid head cleaner fore the VHS player, but it did no good. What gives? Did his Xbox short out (or change) something inside my TV set?
