Adjusting the Playback Picture
Under normal conditions, the VCR automatically adjusts the playback picture for optimum quality. However, in some cases it may be necessary to adjust it manually.
If the Picture Contains Noise Bars and It Is Not Clear to See (Tracking adjustment):
If noise bars appear during normal playback, slow playback or still playback, follow the operations below.
During normal or slow playback, press the Channel button N I (j) or J (i) until the bars noise disappear.
≥If the noise bars appear during still playback, switch the VCR over to the slow playback mode and then adjust the tracking as explained above.
To Return to Auto Tracking:
TV screen
Playback picture containing noise bars
Press the Channel buttons N I (j) and J (i) simultaneously.
If the Still Picture Scrolls Up or Down (V-Lock Adjustment):
If the still picture scrolls up or down, perform the following operation.
During still playback, keep the Channel button N I (j) or J (i) pressed until the picture stops scrolling.
Precautions:
≥With certain TV models and tapes, it may not be possible to adjust the tracking.
≥If you play back a cassette that was recorded on another VCR, the picture quality may be inferior and it may be necessary to adjust the tracking. Also, on some TVs, the picture may scroll up and down in the special playback functions.
However, these are not malfunctions.
