Sylvania SRC2213E Recording, Vertical Hold Control, Still Picture, Tracking Adjustment

VERTICAL HOLD CONTROL

In the Pause/Still mode only, when the picture begins to vibrate vertically, stabilize the picture by pressing the CHANNEL K or L button.

NOTE:

If there are video noise lines on the screen, see Tracking Adjustment section.

STILL PICTURE

You can view a still picture on the TV screen during playback (the Still mode). Press the PAUSE/STILL button during playback. Only tapes recorded in the SLP mode will show the least amount of lines. Press the PLAY/K button to return to playback.

NOTES:

•Usually there will be video “noise” lines (black and white streaks or dots) on the screen. This is normal.

If the tape was originally recorded in SP or LP mode, the still picture will be black and white in addition to the “noise” lines.

This is not a fault of the machine, but is a by- product of the technology involved in producing a TV/VCR with 2 video heads.

•If it is left in the Still mode for more than five minutes, the TV/VCR will automatically switch to the Stop mode.

TRACKING ADJUSTMENT

•Tracking adjustment will be set automatically (Digital Tracking function) when you start play- back.

•However when playing pre-recorded tapes or tapes recorded on units other than your own, noise lines (black and white streaks) may appear on the play- back picture. If this occurs, you can adjust the tracking control manually by pressing the CHAN- NEL K or L button until the streaks disappear. To return to the DTR function, stop the tape once and start playback again.

RECORDING

Before recording, make sure:

The desired channel is selected by pressing the num- ber buttons on the remote control or the CHANNEL Up/Down button. (If the TV/VCR is connected to a cable box or satellite box, the TV/VCR must be on CH3 or CH4, then the channel to be recorded is selected on the cable box or satellite box. )

There is a tape with its safety tab into the VCR. The desired recording speed is selected in SP(stan- dard play) or SLP(super long play) mode by press- ing the SPEED button on the remote control.

Tape Speed	Recording/Playback Time
Type of tape	T60	T120	T160

ERASE PREVENTION

Make sure ...

•TV/VCR power is turned on.

•Insert a cassette tape with its erase prevention tab in place. (If necessary, rewind or fast forward the tape to the point at which you want to begin recording.)

NOTE: This unit will ONLY record and view the same channel.

NORMAL RECORDING

You can prevent acciden- tal erasing of recording by breaking off the tab on the back edge of the cassette.
