Playing a Tape

Using the Playback Features

Automatic Tracking

The TV/VCR has automatic tracking which adjusts the picture when playing a tape that was recorded on another VCR. Automatic tracking is turned on whenever a tape is inserted or the TV/VCR’s power is turned on.

Manual Tracking

Occasionally, you may need to manually adjust tracking on a tape recorded on a different VCR or camcorder. Tracking is used when playing a tape. It has no effect during recording.

•When streaks or snow appear in the picture during normal playback or slow motion, press TRACK or on the remote or CHANNEL up or down on the TV/VCR for the best possible picture.

•To return to Automatic Tracking the tape must be removed from the VCR and re-inserted.

Time Counter

The time counter helps locate the beginning or end of programs you taped. The time counter automatically resets to 0:00:00 whenever a tape is inserted, or you can press CLEAR when the time counter is displayed. For example, if a 30-minute program was recorded at the beginning of the tape and you wanted to record another program after it, you should:

1. Insert the pre-recorded tape.

2. Press DISPLAY twice to display the time counter and fast forward the tape until 30 minutes appears on the screen. Then you can begin recording a second program.
