I have a large screen Sony TV connected to a satellite receiver. One TV
output goes to the VCR and the VCR audio output goes to a small stereo
system. It has worked fine until recently. A slight herringbone pattern
develops when the stereo system is turned on, whether watching a tape or
watching live TV through the VCR.. It vanishes if you turn off the stereo.
There is no problem if you watch the satellite directly, i.e.. not through
the VCR.
I suspect a loose or dirty connection or possibly a bad ground. Before I go
grovelling about the maze of wires on the floor behind the whole set up, am
I on the right track? Or maybe there's something else I haven't considered.
Thanks
ds
