Hello Stephen

The ATF, auto-track-find, servo does both the tracking and speed

static in the picture, one or both tape guides have drifted out of

loosening the set screws), which would screw up speed detection if it
was far enough off.
Well there aren't any lines in the picture, but detection of speed does
not
work, i.e. tape will always be played in LP even if recorded in SP.
When
I playback an LP, picture is a little instable and video sometimes
drops out periodically. But when I record a tape and playback on
a known-good camcorder, both SP and LP recordings are perfect in
picture and sound. So what's the matter with it ?
