•
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
ttie
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 sen/ice
charges
may be required.)
