•Depending on the tape speed used for recording, the freeze-frame might have reduced picture quality.

•If a horizontal “noise” bar appears during freeze-frame, adjust the tracking in the slow-motion mode (see “Variable-Speed Slow Motion” on Page 29).

Caution: The shuttle dial on the VCR does not rotate 360°. Do not force it past the point where it stops.
