	● 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.
