Tracking Adjustments

Auto tracking

Each time a tape is inserted, auto tracking starts working and continuously analyses the signal to adjust for optimum picture quality during playback. So, there is no need for you to minimize noises in most tapes during playback.

Manual tracking

During normal playback:

If auto tracking cannot eliminate noises well during playback, press

CHANNEL 5or °.

During a slow motion picture: Press CHANNEL 5or °to minimize noises in the slow motion picture.

During a still picture:

Press CHANNEL 5or °to reduce jitter in the still picture.

To cancel manual tracking, stop the tape, eject the tape, then re-insert it.

Timer Recording

To record while you’re away, follow step 1 — 10 below. For each programme you set, the VCR will turn on, start recording, and turn off automatically. You can store up to 8 programmes.

Make sure....

The clock is set to the correct time before setting timer recording.

A cassette is inserted in the VCR and the record tab of the cassette must not be removed.

FOR EACH STEP BELOW, YOU NEED TO FINISH WITHIN 60 SECONDS; OTHERWISE, PROGRAMMING WILL HAVE TO BE RESTARTED FROM STEP 1.
