Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at

portions of superimposed displays. This is not a malfunction.
The picture may roll up and down. This can be corrected if your
TV has the V-HOLD control function.
The counter and tape remaining time readings will be incorrect.
During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will
be distorted, and there may be a loss of colour.
