A video was dubbed, but the 
video is distorted or the colours 
are abnormal.
≥Copy-protected material was dubbed.
Copy-protected materials cannot be recorded normally.
Most commercially available videotapes and DVD discs (including rental soft tapes/DVDs) 
are copy-protected so that illegal dubbing is impossible.

section is not corresponding to 
that on the VHS section after 
editing.
≥Some discs may reproduce different audio levels.
If the audio in particular parts, such as speech, is set to a low or high level, it may be 
recorded on a video cassette at a high or low level, respectively.
