taping from HBO HDTV.

recently tapings on my mits u778, when replayed, have been troubled
by a ticking clock sound, sounds like a wind-up clock going tick tock,
tick tock, ... annoying.

i pushed the audio button on the remote and was offered four
options: stereo, R, L, mono. the ticking is present on stereo and L,
not on R or mono. so i am replaying using the R setting.

where did the clock come from, and can i remove it and return to normal
stereo audio? is it in the hdtv signal or an artifact of the vcr?

i used to have a panasonic high end vcr in this position, and this
never happened at that time.

so far in my tests, i have shown that a tape prepared on another
machine lacks the clock sounds. i am changing the tape in the mits
u778 to see if there is something on the tape which does this. i will
study my a/v receiver to see if it is doing something along these
lines. (it is behiving strangely in other ways at the moment so this is
not out of the question.)
