It seems when I have been trying to record a programme on my 2 year old VCR it is not erasing the previous sound track.
At first I thought it was a duff video cassette, but after another programme lost, I did some tests with other old tapes recording blank on the Auxillery channel (Where you would attach a camcorder). The previous image was not erased totally and the sound was still not erased.
Someone suggested I use a tape head cleaner. My brother in law said it sounded like the VCR had worn out, especially if I used it a lot. I usually set it to record the cult TV stuff on BBC2, and of course I used it to record the BB programmes.
The previous one lasted at least about 3 years
From the symptoms described, do I need to replace it.
The cheapest one is from Argos at £44.99
