ITS TAPES PLAY IN YOUR VCR"
appears in the EVF and Monitor ..
II the top ol your playback picture waves
back and forth excessively ..,
• Because the playback signal is not as stable as
an off the air TV signal, the top of your TV screen
may be bent or unstable when the tape is played
back. This symptom is more noticeable when a
lape, recorded on another VCR, is playedback,
To solve this problem, locate the horizontal hold
control on your TV. Turn it slowly to correct the
wavy picture. If your TV does not have a
horizontal hold control or adjusting the control
does not help, some modifications may have to
be made to the TV set. Technically this is called
"Horizontal AFC time constant change," If such a
problem exists, please contact your local TV
service center. (Some nominal service charges
may be required.)
