Video processing circuits (such as enhancers, sharpness controls, and the playback
circuitry in some VCR’s) can over-process the video. This might cause the video signal
to interfere with the invisible sync portion of the signal, thus making the signal non-
standard. Video lines might shift to the right, black lines might enter the picture area
from the left edge of the screen, white flashes might appear, the video image might
be shredded, or you might see video tearing.
When these types of artifacts occur, reduce or remove the processing to bring the sig-
nal back to normal. VCR’s and camcorders often have controls that can disable extra
processing. If your VCR or camcorder has a Sharpness control, set it to zero or turn it
off. If the device has an Edit switch, turn it on.
