...
• Set the
POWER
switch
to
OFF
and
then
CAMERA.
If
the top
of
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
tape, recorded
on
another
VCR,
is
played
back.
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.)
