Tracking
Occasionally, when you play a tape that was recorded
on a different VCR or on a VHS camcorder, visual
noise (white streaks) may appear on the screen. This
means the recorded tracks do not align precisely with
the playback heads on your VCR.
Your Dual-Deck VCR is equipped with an Automatic
Digital Tracking System. This system is activated
whenever you insert a tape to play. You’ll see ATR on
the on-screen display and the ATR indicator is on.
Sometimes, however, you may need to use the man-
ual tracking keys to adjust the picture. Press the

keys (these are also the
2
and
3
buttons) to move the white streaks up or down
and out of the picture. When you do this, the Auto-
matic Digital Tracking System is disabled. The ATR
indicator on the front panel is off. It can be reactivated
by pressing
PLAY
on the remote control or front panel
for 1.5 seconds.
