Tracking Control VHS

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, SLP) changes.

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 (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 VHS

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.

Search

This function lets you visually search forward and back- ward for a desired scene on your tape.

1Press BACKWARD (m) or FORWARD (M) during playback.

The VCR/DVD Recorder will be activated in the SEARCH mode.

If the VCR/DVD Recorder is left in the SEARCH mode for more than 3 minutes, the VCR/DVD Recorder will auto- matically enter the PLAY mode, to protect the tape and video heads.

2To return to playback, press PLAY (N).

Still Picture and Frame-by-Frame Playback

1Press PAUSE/STEP (X) during playback. A still picture appears on the TV screen.

If a still picture vibrates vertically, stabilize it by using CH/TRK (v/V) on the Remote Control.

If the VCR/DVD Recorder is left in the STILL mode for more than 5 minutes, the VCR/DVD Recorder will auto- matically enter the STOP mode to protect the tape and video heads.

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

3To return to playback, press PLAY (N).

Slow Motion

1While in still mode, press FORWARD (M).

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

During slow playback, use CH/TRK (v/V) on the Remote Control to minimize noise bands.

If slow motion mode continues for more than 3 minutes, the VCR/DVD Recorder will automatically change to nor- mal play mode.
