Using the TV/VCR/DVD’s Features

Tracking

Your TV/VCR has automatic tracking which removes streaks and “noise” from the picture. Tracking has no effect when recording – only during playback. Automatic tracking is activated when you insert a tape or turn on the TV/VCR. TRACKING flashes on the TV screen during automatic tracking.

Occasionally you may need to manually adjust tracking, especially if the tape was recorded on a different VCR. Press the TRACK + or – on the remote (CH + or CH– on the front of the TV/ VCR) to remove streaks and noise. You can also use tracking when pausing a tape to reduce the noise of the still picture. When you use manual tracking, automatic tracking turns off.

The automatic tracking feature is restored the next time you insert a tape. If you want to turn automatic tracking back on right after you’ve used manual tracking, press the CH + and CH – buttons on the front of the TV/VCR at the same time.

Time Counter

The time counter shows the actual time used in recording or playing back a tape. The time counter helps locate the beginning or end of recorded events.

For example, if you record a 30–minute program at the beginning of a tape, rewind it, and then want to go to the end of the first program to start another recording:

1.Press the INFO button to display the time counter.

2.Press the CLEAR button to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.

3.Press FORWARD to advance a tape until the time counter reads 0:30:00.

4.Press STOP. This is the approximate end of a 30-minute program (you may want to press PLAY to verify). When the tape is cued correctly, you can begin recording.

5.Press the INFO button to remove the time counter from the screen.

Audio Features

The audio you select affects both tape playback and recordings. Press the SOUND button on the remote to select the type of audio you want to listen to or record. You can use the AUDIO ADJUST menu in the next chapter to adjust the sound.
