Preparations:

Turn on the TV.

If the tape reaches the end before STOP is pressed, the VCR will automatically stop, rewind, eject, and it will turn itself off.

Tracking Control

Auto Tracking

The automatic tracking function adjusts the picture to remove snow or streaks.

The AUTO TRACKING function works in the following cases:

A tape is played back for the first time. Tape speed (SP, LP, EP) changes.

Streaks or snow appear because of scratches on the tape.

Manual Tracking

If noise appears on the screen during playback, press either TRK (+/-)on the remote control or CH (3 / 4) 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 seconds.

Special Effect Playbacks

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 period is needed to stabilize tape speed when re-entering the PLAY

mode. Slight interference may be observed during this period.

Search

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

1Press REW . or FF > during playback. The VCR will be activated in the SEARCH mode.

If the VCR is left in the SEARCH mode for more than 3 minutes, the VCR will automatically enter the PLAY mode, to protect the tape and video heads.

1Press PAUSE/STEP during playback. Still picture will appear on the TV screen.

If a still picture vibrates vertically, stabilize it by pressing TRK (+/-)on the remote control.

If the VCR is left in the STILL mode for more than 5 min- utes, the VCR will automatically enter the STOP mode to protect the tape and video heads.

2Press PAUSE/STEP repeatedly to advance the video picture one frame at a time while viewing a still picture.

3To exit still picture mode, press PLAY.

Slow Motion

1While in still video mode, press FF >.

The tape will be played back at a speed 1/19 times slower than the normal speed.

During slow playback, TRK (+/-)on the Remote Control can be used to minimize noise bands.

When the slow mode continues for more than 30 seconds, the VCR will automatically change to playback mode.

2To exit search mode, press PLAY.

The tape will fast forward picture search through 30 seconds of recording.

The skipping time can be extended by pressing SKIP. Subsequent presses result in advancing the fast forward picture search time by 30-second increments (maximum 2 minutes).
