VCR question	Can't Post

Is it normal for a vcr to bypass the signal from the coax in (ant) through the coax out (tv) when the vcr isn't on but not the line out?

Thanks for any advise.

whether the vcr is on or on standby the rf signal is passed out through the rf out socket, otherwise you would not get a picture on the tv. A/V sockets are switched off if the vcr is on standby

Is there something in setup to keep a/v on when power is off?

Thanks for any responses

I doubt it but as no make or model posted then difficult to say.why do you want to do this anyway? just leave the vcr on all the time if you want A/V signal.

To get AV the signal has to come from the tuner, be detected, if its stereo, the sound has to be decoded then sent through AV matching and buffer stages. So the answer is no, it takes power to do that. Even the RF in and out use power which is always on regardless of what position the on off switch is in. Just pull the mains plug out and you will see the picture on the TV fade out.
