>My VCR refuses to play correctly above SLP speed.  Any ideas?

If the machine is using a four-head or even the rarer three-head config.
then one of the heads is broken, worn, or clogged with oxide.

If the sound is okay on SP then this is the likely cause.

Please note I say 'likely'.  Without the machine in front of me to test,
I can't say for certain.  But past experience tells me what to check first.
