If the top of your playback picture waves
| * Because the playback signal is not as stable
back and forth excessively ...
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 loca! TV service center. (Some
nominal service charges may be required.)
