Ah, now I get it. Those VHS stripe zones are filled with p0rn.

P.S.: V2000 machines are indeed remarkably durable. However, the PSU
seems to die every 10 years or so. Happened again this year. At this
rate I'll be running out of spare units in 2010, or I'll have to start
fixing those xxxxing switched PSUs...
