VHS tapes recorded in old player won`t play good in LG RC-68223 DVD/VHS Combo

I have recently bought LG RC-68223 VHS/DVD Combo. Before I had only VHS player (Sony SLV-E700, If anyone knows this model, 7-8 years old) and now when I tried to play the tapes recorded in old player, they got a wide white line through the picture and the picture is a bit jumpy. Plus the sound sounds like mono, instead of stereo. :(

The weird thing is that tapes made in SP plays normaly (good picture, could be better) it only affects tapes recorded in LP (Which are the most I have). Plus bought tapes also plays correctly (maybe because they also recorded in SP). Could anyone tell me whats wrong? :/

New DVD/VHS player: LG RC-68223 (similar to RC-6800).
Old VHS player: Sony SLV-E700
TV: Sony KV-25C1E (about as old as the video above), conected to new player through scart cable (no other connection possible).

Please, if anyone knows anything, please help me!!!

Borrow a tape from somebody else recorded in LP and see how it goes, I got a Sony SLV-E820 from 1998 and it is a very good VHS recorder,the tapes I made in that in LP play in my modern Sanyo VHS recorder. :)
Put my money on the LG being set up wrong,but like I said try another tape from a different machine.

Wild guess, but have you tried tracking, it`s usually auto these (those) days but there may be a manual override.
