Adjusting the playback picture

Manual Tracking

The unit usually makes tracking adjustments automatically, but you may need to do it manually if noise appears.

However, automatic adjustment may take longer, or adjustment may not be possible depending on the cassette.

In such cases, adjust it manually.

While playing, press [TRACKING/V-LOCK r] or [TRACKING/ V-LOCK j].

Repeat until the picture noise disappears.

Press [TRACKING/V-LOCK r, j] at the same time to return to auto tracking. ≥Audio may change to normal audio if it is adjusted too much. ≥This function may not work with some tapes.

≥To eliminate noise for paused images or during slow playback, adjust the tracking while playing back in slow playback.

Vertical Locking Adjustment

Adjust the vertical synchronization to stop the picture from shaking while paused.

While paused, press [TRACKING/V-LOCK r] or [TRACKING/ V-LOCK j].

Repeat until the shaking stops.

≥Press [TRACKING/V-LOCK r, j] at the same time to return to the standard position.

≥This function may not work with some tapes.

≥The playback picture may be unstable during special playback (Pause, Slow playback, Cue/Review).

When you play back a tape recorded in other than the SP mode, the picture and the sound may be unstable.

However, these are not a malfunction.

≥Tapes are automatically rewound once they reach the end (except during fast forwarding, etc.).
