Brazil

1st Warning (1990-1995)

Note: This includes the tracking notice before the warning.

Visuals: On an iris background is the following text scroll up from the bottom of the screen before settling in the center:

'Esta fita foi gravada em equipamento profissional de última geração, obedecendo a padrões técnícos rigorosos adotados internacionalmente. Apesar desse cuidado, a reprodução no seu equipamento poderá apresentar pequenas variações na parte superior ou inferior, da imagem, provocadas por diferença de ajuste entre a máquina geradora e o seu reprodutor.'

The text then scrolls up to the top of the screen, making room for the following text:

'Por estar sujeito a esse tipo de ocorréncia, o seu videocassete foi equipado com o ajuste de 'TRACKING'. Manifestando-se esse desajuste, gire o botão de 'TRACKING' para a esquerda ou direita até que a imagem na tela de seu televisor se estabilize. Caso as variações persistam durante toda a reprodução da fita, entre em contato com:'

The text then scrolls up to make room for the address:

'WARNER HOME VIDEO
Av. Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira, 1830
Condomínio São Luiz - Torre 1 - 2° Andar.
CEP 04543 - ITAIM BIBI
Tel. (011)820-6777
São Paulo - SP'

The address is, in turn, replaced by the following text:

'DIREITOS AUTORAIS RESERVADOS'
A reprodução integral ou parcial do conteúdo desta fita é expressamente proibida. Os infratores estarão sujeitos ás penalidades previstas em lei.
Translation:
'This tape was recorded in state-of-the-art professional equipment, complying with strict technical standards adopted internationally. Despite this care, the reproduction in your equipment may show slight variations in the upper or lower part of the image, caused by difference in adjustment between the generating machine and its reproducer. Because it is subject to this type of occurrence, your VCR has been equipped with the 'TRACKING' adjustment. If this malfunction manifests, turn the 'TRACKING' knob to the left or right until the image on your television screen stabilizes. If the variations persist throughout the tape playback, contact: WARNER HOME VIDEO - Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira Avenue, 1830 - São Luiz Condominium - Tower 1 - 2nd Floor. - CEP 04543 - ITAIM BIBI - Tel. (011)820-6777 - São Paulo - SP. COPYRIGHT RESERVED. The full or partial reproduction of the contents of this tape is strictly prohibited. Violators will be subject to the penalties provided by law.'

Variant: A later variant has the words "WARNER HOME VIDEO" and "São Paulo - SP" in a smaller font.

Technique: Unless you count the scrolling, none.

Audio: None.

Availability: Found on Brazilian Warner tapes of the time, such as A Troll in Central Park (Um Duende no Parque).

  • All instances of the word "'TRACKING'" now have double quotation marks instead of single.
