Thanks, I will look close when I pull the resistors again. I get a little anxious desoldering parts in and out because I have a tendency to rip the pads off the board due to my modest soldering skills and braid which never seems to suck up solder, but thats another story lol

One question now that I'm wondering after seeing your post about your VCR that was stereo but not hi-fi.. and this is addressed to anyone: After looking up linear audio VCR information, it mentioned how Dolby NR was used to compensate, but that was on linear stereo tracks (not hi-fi).
Now, this unit has Hi-fi AND Dolby NR. Was it just overkill or am I missing something here?
