<DIV>I have followed the discussion as to how to set the head for correct
playback. It is an interesting discussion. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I always used the AMTEC error on the VR-1200. ATC error on the
RCA's.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now the AVR 2 was a different beast. You could set the error to the
lowest amount and still have issues. We found that we had to do a couple
of things. First jumper the machine so it is in H lock at all times.
This made the TBC work less. Second was even after getting that head error
down to as little as possible, there could be a residual error in the
picture. We looked at the vector scope and then would do a little tweak on
the head to see if we could tighten up the dots. Generally we could reduce
the spread by about a third. Thus it was the final quality of the picture
that was the most critical. When you had to go multi generations in
editing every little trick helped. </DIV>
