Static Lines
Hi,
I have just plugged in my Waltham W154 portable to watch some TV When I tuned into the VCR (Modulator, which is connected to my YouView box) a couple of seconds with having a picture, static lines appeared on the screen (See attached) I used the set last night too, without this issue. Edit: I've tested all connections, and everything is fine... What could the issue be, does anyone know? Any help is appreciated Thanks Last edited by 19Seventy7; 4th Mar 2019 at 9:57 pm. |

Re: Static Lines
This looks like some form of menu or text being radiated from another device. I once came across a new tv connected to a new vcr with a fault like this.
When tv was in text mode and the vcr was recording tv . when tape were played back text was on top of the recording a bit like the fault you have. Make certain that no other unit is close by that might have menu or text selected regards Derrick |

Re: Static Lines
It's right next to my PC, but when I used it last night it was in the complete opposite corner. I didn't think about that much... I assumed because it could record TV audio onto cassette, meaning the cassette deck would also be on, i assumed interference wouldn't be an issue... I was wrong.
I tried it further away from my PC and it's now stopped. Thanks for your help |
