	Is that what *Theta* claims about the player, or *Video* claims?
Theta is highly regarded company, and mechanical jitter just isn't
something that I think they would be terribly interested in.

	On the other hand, I could see some writer or editor at Video
magazine coming up with a gross misunderstanding of jitter and then
printing it.
