Zenith XBV442 Progressive-Scan DVD/VCR Combo
Fixing the audio static
Someone was kind enough to add a note under a similar product (the XBV443) that if you use the remote control (instead of the front panel) to do the on/off and play, the audio static disappears.  This turned out to be completely correct, and fixed the loud static I was getting on the left channel. <br /> <br />That said, while this is a \\"satisfactory\\" solution, having this problem at all on a new player seems rather ridiculous.  Anyway, I mainly wanted to post about the fix, since I'm sure any of you with audio problems are as frustrated as I was.  (And we're not talking subtle here... it's as loud as the signal.) <br />
