On a JVC VCR this is normal. JVC VCR’s incorporate two speeds SP (2 hours) and EP (6 hours). Other manufacturers may incorporate a middle speed LP (4 hours). Although JVC VCR’s will playback tapes recorded in the LP speed, when using special effects such as; STILL MODE, PAUSE, SEARCH you will not see a picture.
