Greetings everyone! I've seeked out this forum to see if any of you all can help me with a VCR problem. Yes, I know, they're old technology, but I've still got a big collection of VHS tapes, and I've got some nice equipment around the house here. One of those nice devices is a Panasonic AG5710 SVHS editing deck that doesn't seem to like pre-recorded tapes. This is a screen shot of Pink Floyd "Delicate Sound of Thunder" I picked this tape because there is plenty of dark scenes in it, but other pre-recorded VHS movie tapes and stuff produce the same results. This deck doesn't have very many hours on it at all, because I really use it for is transferring media to DVD-R. It is in my office however, and I want to use it for watching shows while doing some other chores. The monitor in this screen shot is a professional grade 19 inch Sony PVM studio monitor

Now, here comes the weird part. All those pre-recorded tapes play perfect in my household grade S-VHS omnivision deck, and my JVC HR-s6800 deck. The Pansonic editing deck also plays tapes that *I* recorded perfectly (no matter what deck they were made on), both in S-VHS and standard VHS mode (I don't have any pre-recorded SVHS to test it with however)

I thought I was dealing with a bad head, cable interference issues outside the deck, or the usual Panasonic capacitor issues, but those would manifest themselves on all tapes. Am I dealing with some type of macrovision artifact here or some other copy-protection issue that is incompatible with the professional grade deck?
