No safety tab 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: 1 Select a TV station with a strong, clear signal. 2 Record a brief segment of that station's programming. 3 Play 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. 21 SC4/UF (FVH-E420 GB) Wed. 26/2000 NORMAL PLAYBACK Before starting oe Turn on the power (TV and VCR). oe Load a cassette.
