JVC VCR...audio issue

[CrimsonGlory]

Hello all,

A few months ago I introduced myself and showed a few pictures of a JVC VCR that I picked up at a thrift store. A little while later, I managed to come across a decent quality A/V receiver on the cheap that I could hook it up to. Thought I'd give the unit a proper tape to play so I threw in 'A Show of Hands' by Rush.

I will say right now that the video itself seems to work just fine. The problem that I have with audio seems to coincide with the 'audio monitor' feature that this unit has. There are two settings, 'normal' and 'hi-fi,' and when it's in 'normal' the sound comes through just fine. When it tries to switch itself to 'hi-fi,' however, the audio cuts out. Then I guess it senses there's an issue because it switches back to 'normal' and I get my sound again.

I really like this machine and I'd very much like to enjoy it. Anybody ever encounter an issue like this?
