Samsung SV-5000W Worldwide VHS Format VCR
Poor playback quality
The system is great for PAL tapes as we have tapes from Argentina and Australia - no problems to view them on an NTSC TV.<br />However, on some NTSC tapes I found the playback quality bad, specifically the image jitters like it is missing frames.  Especially bad seem to be tapes from Disney, Barbie as Rapunzel, The Beauty and the Beast, etc so I thought it may be a macrovision problem but I found out that Beauty and the Beast does not have macrovision protection.  Cartoons such as Pokemon 3 were also bad.  The tapes we were using were original tapes and when we play them on our other Sony video or Zenith video we have no problems so the problem is in the Samsung machine not the tapes.   Disappointing for an ... video.
