I am experiencing the same visuals on my pv1730.  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?

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).
