Symptom
➤
There may be a temporary patch of poor picture quality where there is a
change from one recording to another, particularly if the recordings were
not assembled together using the pause function. Temporary video head
contamination and tape damage can also cause it.
➤ Please press “TRACKING” for better picture. Videotape may be
poor. Try to change it to another one.
➤ Please use a head-cleaner to clean VCR heads. VCR heads may
be contaminated.
➤
Some televisions have a special channel for VCR use (0 or 9, or AV
channel); check the television instructions and check if the DVD-VCR
player is on this channel. Some televisions react adversely to some copy-
protected video recordings. Try a recording without Macrovision anti-
copy protection (ACP), or a different television.
