I have a Mitsubushi 35" TV and two S-VHS VCRs. With playback of most prerecorded tapes, the top 3-4 inches of the picture curls to the right. (With one machine, the image sometimes "moves around" the screen as if shot by a hand-held camera.) At first I thought it was the first VCR, but it looked fine on the monitors in two different shops -- with the same tapes. Also, one VCR displays "static" on the screen; I had this fixed once (no, not a matter of head-cleaning), and it came back like a bad cold. Have tried changing cables and location of VCRs. Is it something in my TV? Anybody know? Signed, Going Crazy in Ohio, or VCRless Until a Cure is Found. (No problem playing back DVDs, by the way.)
