	Before you return it, try one thing - BE SURE THE VCR IS NOT
SETTING DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH THE TV !!
	I'm not sure why, but many times the TV interferes with the operation
of equipment directly below it, especially the bottom left corner of the TV.
I think the flyback transformer may be here.
	I just rescued a friend's VCR from a similar fate. Simply moving it
farther away from the TV restored it to full hi-quality operation.
