My SONY Betamax SL-HF 400 vcr has a problem on 'sharpness' control, nothing
happened on pictures' sharpness when I tried to adjust it.
It uses a potentiometer to change the dc voltage on the base or gate 
of a transistor.  When I swept the potentiometer the changing voltage
responsed fine.  But where does this control voltage go ?   How does a vcr
sharpness function work ?
Any idea, comment will be highly appreciated.

BTW, I noticed that if you shut off the Hi-Fi function you will get a better
picture from a HiFi vcr.   It is true on SL-HF 400, others ?  don't know yet.
