I am getting jitter on any vcr tape as it goes through the pioneer vsx49tx, then out component to the plasma.

any ideas, I have aready checked the tracking issue.

Try turning on svhs if it is svhs machine/tape also check your cable(s) Check the format for the input your using. (settings of
plasma) are you using s or composite?
How are you converting vcr to component ?

the pioneer vsx 49tx av receiver converts all video to component, I have other composite signals that are being upconverted, but they are fine. just the vcr, only when it is playing a tape.

the video sync signal on video tape is often difficult for scalers, line doublers, and fixed panel devices like LCD/DLP projectors and plasma's to process.

sometimes I will put a TBC (time base corrector) which strips the tape's sync off and reinserts a standard NTSC sync. this would go between the vcr and the receiver.

in some cases, by runnind the VCR seperately to the plasma w/ composite or Y/C will fix this problem.

some VCRs, such as high end JVC models have a TBC built into the unit.

I personally have had problems with Sharp VC-S101 and JVC HRS series VCRs to DVDO based line doublers, Fujitsu plasmas, and Pioneer plasmas. Using a Faroudja processor or Faroudja circuit equiped device (such as Marantz VP12S1 projector) has always solved this problem.
