I did try operating it with the RCA Output jacks and the video outputted onto the screen is the same, but I did notice that when I dinked around with the RF Modulator's channel 3/channel 4 switch on the back of the vcr the picture cleared up a little bit but then it went back to being a garbled mess.
Is the Video signal outputted to the TV screen controlled by the same circtuitry regardless of if its being put out through the RF Modulator or if its being put out through the RCA outputs? Or are the RCA Outputs and the RF Modulator Video outputs separate circuits in the VCR?
I'm so close to getting this VCR going, and the only thing holding me back right now is the video output signal right now.
