Hello all!
What can be the problem with a VHS player, Panasonic model NV-HV61E
which only gives a decent picture in EP mode? If trying to play a tape
wither standard shortplay or longplay, the picture all flickers and
rolls.
I clean the drum without no improvment. I also clean the capstan
roller and audio/control head. Any advice is warmly appreciated.

Best regards

Have you checked for any tape edge damage?

what happens if you make a recording in SP and play it
a) on the same machine
b) on a known good machine?
