If it's fading to a scrambled looking picture with psychedelic colors and a scratching sound in the audio, this is probably a problem with the discs. They may be either scratched or dirty, probably just dirty. Almost all of my discs would do this until I either cleaned them or played them over to clear them up. Most people recommend using pure distilled water to clean the disc. I used to use alcohol, but I heard that can damage the discs, and I think I may have in fact damaged a couple with alcohol. DO NOT use harsh cleaners like acetone - they'll wipe the grooves right off the disc! Also, check the stylus to make sure it's clean. Be careful because it's delicate, especially that little copper wire on it, which is critical - it carries the electronic video signal from the conductive disc to the tonearm resonator. |
