Is sound bad on the trinitron as well?

I missed him having an issue with audio still. Could be that needs to be adjusted separately on the Atari. @atarinewb the audio adjustment on the Atari console is the small red tower with some copper wire wrapped around it. But you really need to use a plastic hex key designed for this to make the adjustment as using a metal hex key will cause the adjustment to never quite be right as the metal from the hex key will alter the adjustment making it difficult since once you happen to get the audio dialed in, then it gets messed up when you remove the hex key. But the other problem with metal hex keys, is that the slug inside the audio coil is made of ferrite and it will crack very easily. Once that happens, you have to replace that part and adjust again.

 

Could also be an issue with the poly caps for the audio circuit. 

 

But explain exactly what you are getting or not getting in regards to audio?

The trinitron is perfect.

The Atari works perfectly on the Trinitron including the sound. What puzzles me is that the vcr works fine on the Zenith, sound and everything but the Atari is all grainy and the sound is horrible its a white noise sound over the game's noise. Louder than the sounds on the game.
