Playback of Copyguarded Tapes
Some prerecorded tapes employ a copyguard system that may cause intermittent distortion in the upper portion of the picture during playback. (This distortion is more likely to be visible on an older TV.) If you experience this problem, do the following:
1Select a TV station with a strong, clear signal.
2Record a brief segment of that station’s programming.
3Play back the recording.
If the playback picture is clear, the VCR is operating properly. The distortion on the prerecorded tape is due to the copyguard system.
