No sound from VCR
 

I've got a cheapie Memorex VCR that I bought brand new a few years ago
and the sound recently went out on it. Being an amateur electronics
hobbyist I was wondering how difficult it might be to attempt to fix
this problem. It would be easy just to ditch it and get a new one but
where would the fun be in that? LOL! Any help or advice is greatly
appreciated...

a few things to check:
-if a stereo machine, play a prerecorded tape check the audio select,
see if it picks up hifi audio as well as linear
-check the A/c head is clean
-reseat connectors
-check audio output via AV and RF jacks
try recording , do you get sound then? and if you play your recordings
on another vcr is there audio??
