Streaks or snow appear because of scratches on the tape.

Manual Tracking

If noise appears on the screen during playback, press either CH/TRK (v/V) on the remote control or CH/PRESET (v/V) on the front panel until the noise on the screen is reduced.

In case of vertical jitter, adjust these controls very carefully. Tracking is automatically reset to normal when the tape is ejected or the power cord is unplugged for more than 3 sec- onds.

Special Effect Playback

Special effects playback notes

Horizontal lines (noise bars) will appear on the TV screen. This is normal.

The audio is automatically muted during special effect modes, so there is no sound during search.

During the high-speed picture search modes, a short time is needed to stabilize tape speed when re-entering the PLAY mode. Slight interference may be observed during this time.

This function lets you quickly and visually search for a desired tape section in either direction: forward and reverse.
