Not sure but don’t think so… read the user manual, saw nothing of the sort mentioned.

Unlike its big bro the UVW-1800, the 1400A did not feature a jog/shuttle wheel (one could give it this capability with an optional remote). Don’t hear or see any audio when FF or Rewinding. 🙁 I spoke with a very nice technician at JW Teltronics who told me that probably what happened was that someone overloaded the audio circuitry in the deck with a questionable/poorly grounded audio input. As I understand it, it won’t be too terrible to have a place desolder and replace the audio chips on the board. For now, I’ll transfer the video onto FCP and sync it with the audio from one of my VHS dubs of the projects… not ideal but enough to get my work up and out there while I wait for the deck to be fixed. Thanks again for all the suggestions!

Thanks Bob. I tried several different tapes that are known to have audio on them and the cables are all brand new (well, except the phone to RCA one I used to try to test the headphone jack). Thinking I’ll call JW Teltronics for a repair quote as they seem very knowledgeable on these machines… unless someone can recommend a repair place in the vicinity of Detroit, MI where I live?? Shipping these babies i$ $uper expen$ive.
