Because the playback signal is not as stable as an off
the air TV signal, the top of your TV screen may be ben1
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 slowlyto
correct the wavy picture, if yourTV 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
constantchange." If such a problem exists, please
contactyour _ocalTV servicecenter. (Some nominat
service chargesmay be required.)
