SLOW appears in the VCRÕs display panel.

3. Use TRACKING up or down to remove any streaks from the picture.

The VCR will automatically switch from slow- motion playback to stop after a few minutes.

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 or the VCRÕs power is turned on.

Manual Tracking

Occasionally, you may need to manually adjust tracking on a tape recorded on a different VCR or camcorder. The TRACKING buttons on the remote or VCR are used when playing a tape. They have no effect during recording.

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

¥Press TRACKING up or down during stop- action pause to reduce picture ÒjitterÓ.

¥Press both TRACKING buttons at the same time to turn automatic tracking back on or eject the tape and re-insert it.
