JVC HRVP770U 4-Head Hi-Fi VCR
A Major Disappointment
My problem with this VCR is that it is advertised to be a stereo VCR but mine is not.  I have tried hooking it up with both RCA jacks and the coaxial cable.  Neither has worked. I have also checked the audio-processor setting to no avail.  My television is hooked up through my receiver.  When the mono switch on my receiver is pushed in you can tell a dramatic difference with the television.  Not so with the VCR.  Also my television has a light on it to let you know when it is receiving a stereo signal.  It does not receive a stereo signal from the VCR.  This is not just with tapes but also the VCR's tuner.  I have tried many different tests and I am sure that the VCR is not producing a stereo signal.  Unfortunately I did not notice this until I had owned it about four months so returning it is not an option.  My next step is to contact JVC.  The next VCR I buy I will immediately check to see that it is actually putting out a stereo signal when applicable.  This is an easy problem to miss!
