Subject: Video taping problem
Question
My mom's VCR has suddenly begun taping the NPR audio over the picture of
her
programs. What's happened and how can we make it stop?
Thanks!
Answer
You did not answer my questions. You did not ask a coherent question that I could understand and I could not read your mind. But, now that you have found a solution can you share with me the problem you were having? Was it a hook up problem? Was it an equipment error? Was it a setting of the functions? I am curious to know what it is all about. Thanks for the feedback.

===================================
What? How can audio be recorded on video?
In a vcr there are 2 recording heads. One records only video and cannot record audio because it is technologically impossible. The audio head records the audio track and cannot, technologically, record video. So, I don't understand what your are claiming.
Could you please explain in more clear detail what is going on?
Do you mean that a tape that was previously recorded with some program is now being recorded over with just npr audio? If that is what you mean, then you must turn off the recording function of the vcr! If you are getting npr radio in then you must not only turn off the recording function of the vcr but switch your feeding receiver off of fm or where ever you are getting the npr feed.
Or: Is it possible you are not getting npr audio but PBS audio?
Bottom line: if the vcr is recording something you don't want, turn off the recording function.
Thank you,
C
