Video recording in Spain

When I record TV programmes, the only way I can have both pictures and
sound on the tape is to leave the TV on, tuned to the desired channel
and recording using Line 1 input of the VCR. If I try to record using
the channel pre-set in the VCR, all I get is the picture. I just moved
to Spain and never had this problem in the UK. I'm using a Spanish TV,
with a British video recorder (but it's all Japanese anyway!). I have
the aerial lead going through the video to the TV and a Scart lead
joining the TV and video, all as normal. Is there something different
about the Spanish system which gives me this problem?

Hiya!

The PAL system in Spain (can't remember excatly which one it is) uses a
different audio carrier frequency to the british one, that's why you
have sound problems when using a UK VCR.

Yours, Mark.
