Set

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.)
