I have bought a new VCR-DVD combo player, model SD-25VESE of Toshiba and have faced a very curious malfunction.
The VCR worked fine when connected to my TV set that is, both DVD and VHS signals were viewable on the TV screen (through SCART), but when I connected the VCR to my PC (capture card Fly TV Platinum ,Philips 7133 chipset) through an RCA cable, the video signal of
the VHS player was lost after a few minutes of capturing.
Trying to capture the DVD output worked fine, but when I returned to play mode of the a VHS cassette, the system never recovered, outputing a black screen. Audio is not affected in any way.
At first I thought it was a VCR problem so I returned back where I bought it from and picked up a new VCR player, same model.
When I got back home I tried the same configuration again, that is, to capture the video signal from a VHS cassette, connected to my PC through an RCA cable and the picture was AGAIN lost after a few minutes of playing the cassette. I reconnected the VCR to my TV set
through a SCART-SCART cable, but when I pressed PLAY on the VHS player, the only thing I got was a black picture. There
was no video signal at all! The DVD player works fine, either it's connected through a SCART-SCART cable to the TV set, or an RCA cable to the capture card of my PC. I cannot imagine what the problem might be. It looks like the combination of capturing a video signal of a VHS cassette (when connecting the VCR to my PC through an RCA cable) is distructive.
Your opinion will be highly appreciated, this problem is getting me crazy....can't think of anything.
