Adjusting the Tracking

automatic tracking

Your VCR automatically adjusts the tape to give you the best quality picture. When you start playback of a newly inserted tape, the DIGITAL TRACKING light (D) will flash, showing that the VCR is adjusting the picture. When the VCR has finished adjusting the picture, the DIGITAL TRACKING light will shine steadily.

A certain amount of ÒnoiseÓ in the picture or sound is normal while the VCR is tracking a tape.

manual tracking

From time to time, you might play a tape that has excess noise in the picture, often looking like vibration or interference at the top or bottom of the screen, or during D- VHS playback, a mosaic noise, still or black picture may appear. To correct the picture, you have to manually track the tape.

1While the tape is playing, press and hold SP/EP and turn the front panel jog dial until the picture is clear of excess noise.

2To continue automatic tracking, press SP/EP again. Automatic tracking will also resume when you eject the tape.

slow tracking (for analog playback only)

Slow tracking is used to adjust the playback quality during slow motion playback and still frame. You can only use slow tracking if your tape was recorded in ex- tended play (EP) speed. To adjust the slow tracking, put a tape into slow motion, then press and hold SP/EP and turn the front panel jog dial until the best picture is obtained.

Time Counter

Your VCR has a time counter that shows the amount of time the tape has run in hours, minutes, and seconds. This counter is useful when you want to find specific points on a tape. The counter will not work when playing blank tapes or on blank sections of tape, or when the VCRÕs power is off.

setting the counter

To set the counter to Ò0H00M00S,Ó press CANCEL on the remote control.

You cannot reset the counter if you are using the VCRÕs menus.

The counter will reset to Ò- - H - - M - - SÓ when you eject a tape. When you load a tape again, the counter will display Ò0H00M00SÓ.

Searching Techniques

Your VCR lets you search through a tape in a number of ways. These include: Quick search (CM skip) -- 30 second intervals

Speed search -- visually search

Counter zero stop -- direct to start of recording Index search -- find specific index points

When you record a digital program, there is a chance that it was broadcast as a non-standard digital signal. This means that while this D-VHS VCR can record the program, it may not display a picture when you use the visual search function (i.e. Speed Search). This is not a defect of the D-VHS VCR player.
