I would like to hear from anyone who owns a Panasonic PV-1730
VCR. I just bought one. It had features I wanted and looked
pretty good in the store. However, at home I having trouble
with the color level. The tapes playback at a significantly
higher color level than the tuner. When I feed it into my
Panasonic TV, I cannot leave it on VIR.

I have had two of them now, so it is not an indiviudal 
unit problem. For fun I got hold of the service manual and
noticed that there is a supplement that documents a 
modification to the chroma board (it is actually a little
board that piggy backs on top of the main chroma board).
It is not clear to me if this mod just brings the schematics
up to date with the final production model, or represents
a fix not made in some production models. The Panasonic
distributor in Atlanta can shed no light without taking my
unit apart and seeing if the mod is there.

Anyway, I am suspicious of the chroma mod and think it may
be related to my problem.

If you have a 1730 please drop me a line.

Thanks
