However, I have approximately the same color thing on my SONY 2700. This leads me to deciding that this is considered "normal" for VCR playback modes. The interesting thing is that the SONY VTX-1000R Tuner and the 1730/2700 in tuner modes are all approximately equal (good to great) in picture values. Have you also noticed the differences in color saturation in the signals from the three major networks? > Anyway, I am suspicious of the chroma mod and think it may > be related to my problem. The earlier information makes me suspect that the "chroma mod" is not the culprit, unless SONY's and PANASONIC's circuit boards are made by the same company (not completely out of the question with all of the product nepotism that goes on in Japan).
