Just set up a new LG RC897T combo DVD Player/VCR unit.
When I play a VHS tape, there is a constant clicking sound.
Not sure what is causing it. I don't want to break this new unit or damage my VHS tapes.
The tapes seem to play OK and insert and eject OK as well. I just don't know what the clicking sound is indicating...
Any help would be appreciated.
On one hand I would say not to be concerned about the clicking since nothing seems to be affected. However, if the noise is loud enough to be a bother, or for your own peace of mind, consider returning it to the retailer for exchange if you still have that option. I've heard clicking sounds from other VCRs because of some of the moving parts and it's been nothing to worry about. But I'm not familiar with the guts of your model, so I can't say it's not a sign of some problem that might get worse over time. It's your call. Not really a "solution" I know, but without opening it up for myself and looking for the source of the noise it's the best I can offer.

Yes, the tape plays fine and the picture looks good. It's just the clicking sound -- it is constantly there while the tape plays...
That's OK. Yes, it is on every single tape I play. Both older tapes and newer ones. There doesn't appear to be any difference.
Thank you very much for taking the time to consider this problem. I appreciate your comments very much. I do have the option to return this or for service, which I will consider. Thanks again for your help.
Sorry. I saw it said that already right after I posted the clarification. I should have been asking if this clicking is on every tape that you play?
Other than the clicking, does the tape play and picture look normal?
