This model VCR is optimized to produce the best picture in the speed indicated. This only applies to the special features such as: freeze-frame, frame-stepping, slow-motion or scanning (cue and review). Using these features with recordings made in a speed other than the one indicated may produce a picture that will be unclear, and some features might be unavailable. The appearance of noise lines, instability or a ragged picture in the other speeds does not indicate a VCR malfunction. Consult the features list for more information. For optimal special effect performance play back recordings made in the speed indicated. ©Misterßetamax go to homepage
