I purchased a cheap sanyo HIFI VCR, and guess what the top 10-15 lines on the screen I had the same curl while I put in Forest Gump. I played with the tracking to no avail. In the manual they state "this is due to copy protection on some rental movies or when seen on an older TV". Sure enough all other tapes in my collection were fine. By the way I have a new Wega that does not CROP any of the picture away, This could be the reason on lesser TV you do not see the curl.If I play the same tape on a JVC VCR and TV the picture is fine.
Good Luck
