There were a few techs still "openly willing" to accept these behemoth pro decks for repair five years ago, but updated posts at DigitalFAQ suggest virtually all had exited the business by 2019-2020. Or is my deck in need of servicing?Ĭrossing my fingers johnmeyer has great luck with the technician in Florida, and is able to recommend him. Could this be a video sync problem? Im wondering if maybe its trying to sync up with a source deck for the picture to even play the tape? I would assume you could use the deck for playback without it being hooked up to anything, but this doesn't seem to be the case. I don't have a video signal being fed into the deck from the source deck (since I wont be recording video). I tried moving some switches on the deck like edit to play, etc. The time counter is working as it should, so its picking up the signal off the tape. When I turn off the TBC, it goes to blue screen. I get nothing but scrambled black screen with colors flashing. Problem is the picture isn't being sent to the tv. So it seems to be picking up the signal off the tape. It picked up the video track as the video tracking was very good with the meter quite high. I put in a tape into the deck with video already recorded on the tape. The 7750 will be the recorder deck in the setup. I have the 7750 deck set up in an edit suite to do some audio dubbing onto VHS tapes on the linear tracks. Since this is an old thread, I'll post my issue here. (Its been long forgotten that consumer VHS and pro-studio VHS video track specifications diverged back in the mid-1980s: pro recordings play fine on consumer VCRs but consumer recordings often play rather poorly on pro VCRs).
These huge honking pro-line studio VCRs were never intended to get into the hands of consumers: aside from the $4000 pricetag, they aren't designed with consumer-spec tape playback in mind.
The Faroudja noise reduction system helps a little but it still isn't an ideal match of VCR and tapes.

Its been awhile since I used a 7750: it might be capable of EP playback but your unit may have a fault in the speed detection so it fails to set the correct speed based on the tape signal.Īs OldMedia notes, a 7750 wouldn't be the best deck for playing consumer tapes in any case, because the video heads are sized and optimized for professional studio use: these heads pick up and play out more noise than video signal when you load the typical consumer tape. Loading an EP/SLP tape could result in triple-fast playback with no hifi sound, only speeded-up mono. I doubt that is your problem, though: more likely, your tapes are EP/SLP aka "6-hour" recordings, which I believe the AG-7750 cannot play at correct speed since it runs at SP/2-hour mode only. Be sure none of the rather cryptic "search" buttons is engaged or lit up on the front panel: this can result in smooth looking fast forward playback (and would explain why the sound only works from the mono track and at triple speed). The AG-7750 had an assortment of special playback modes.
