Author Topic: audio issues playing VHS tapes thru CP500 Jamal Hersi Film Handler Posts: 1 From: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Registered: Nov 2008 posted 03-04-2011 09:52 AM                     i have been screening some VHS tapes on the big screen using a geffen but have had issues with sporadic but very loud audio static i have the same problem whether plugging the stereo output directly into the geffen (which is then routed into the external 6 channel on a Dolby cp500 processor) or plugging only video into the geffen and doing audio thru a yamaha receiver which converts the stereo into six channel and plugs into the cp500 i'm wondering if this is a problem intrinsic to playing VHS tapes of varying age in this way on a big screen sound system or if there is something different I can try  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 03-04-2011 01:11 PM                        Try any similar audio (CD, etc) and see if it sounds OK. The input level of the 6 channel input is quite low; you may need to pad down the level sent in. If you are using non sync 1 or 2, you should be about right. Louis  |  IP: Logged
