TRACKING

Your VCR has automatic tracking which r emoves the str eaks or snow from the picture. Automatic tracking is activated when you insert a tape or turn on the VCR. Occasionally you may need to manually adjust tracking, especially if the tape was recorded on a differentVCR. Just use the TRA CKING buttons to r emove the streaks or snow.You can also use tracking when you pause a tape to reduce jittering of the picture.

When you manually adjust the picture, automatic tracking is turned off.To turn automatic tracking back on, press both TRACKING buttons on the VCR at the same time, or eject the tape and re-insert it.

Tracking only effects playback—not recording.
