of

horizontal

resolution.

This

VCR

can

handle

both

standard

(tracks)

without

deviating.

When

tracking

deviation

occurs,

it

appears

on

the

screen

as

vertical

jitter

and

grainy

streaks.

The

which

greatly

reduces

the

possibility

of

deviations.

of

the

VCR

that

receives

TV

signals

off

the

air

and

via

cable.

The
