VCR Recording image No Sound Please Help

[easyrose]

I just set up my new Sony HT-DDW700 and i think that it is a very decent HT system for what i spent.
The only problem i have encountered so far after 1 day of ownership is that I can tape a show but the playback has no sound. I tried alot of different things with no luck. The manual indicates that the receiver does not allow recording(DVD or VCR). If this is really the case, i will return the system.

Can someone please help?

Thanks,

Evan

How exactly do you have the VCR connected? It is possible that you hooked up the video but not the audio. Are you recording satellite?

I am recording Cable. The VCR out goes to the Reciever Video 1 input

Your receiver doesn't have any type of AV outputs on it to go to a VCR, so your problems are in how your source is connected to the VCR.

The theater system you purchased won't even be involved in the recording process, so no worries.

You need to connect the audio from your cable box to your VCR and not the receiver (both if your cable box has two audio outputs). If you only have one, you can run it back to the receiver using the line outs on your VCR.

That last piece of advice did it. Now it records with sound. The TV and the VCR operate on Video 1. I need to have the VCR on so that i can hear the TV through the reciever.

Does that sound right?
