About NTSC Playback

 

 

Some TVs shrink the picture vertically and place black bars at

 

 

the top and bottom of the TV screen. This is not a malfunction

 

 

on the part of either the video recorder or the TV.

 

 

The picture may roll up and down. This can be corrected using

 

 

the V-HOLD control found on some TVs. (This cannot be

 

 

corrected if the TV does not have a V-HOLD control.)

 

 

The counter and tape remaining time readings will be incorrect.

 

 

During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will

 

 

be distorted, and there may be a loss of colour.

 

 

Depending on the type of TV, the top and bottom portions of

 

 

superimposed displays may be cut off during NTSC playback.
