Automatic Tracking

The VCR has automatic tracking which adjusts the picture when playing back a tape recorded on another VCR. Automatic tracking is turned on whenever a tape is inserted.

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, and it has no effect during recording.

¥When streaks or snow appear in the picture, press TRACKING up or down on the remote or the VCR for the best possible picture.

¥During pause, press TRACKING up or down on the remote to reduce any jittering of the picture.

¥To turn automatic tracking back on, press both TRACKING buttons on the front of the VCR at the same time or eject the tape and re-insert it.
