Tracking
Your TV/VCR has automatic tracking which removes streaks and “noise” from the picture. Automatic tracking is activated when you insert a tape or turn on the VCR. Occasionally you may need to manually adjust tracking, especially if the tape was recorded on a different VCR. Use the TRACKING +/– buttons to remove streaks and noise. You can also use tracking when pausing a tape to reduce the noise of the stilled picture.
When manually adjusting the picture, automatic tracking is turned off. To turn automatic tracking back on press the AUTO TRACK button.
Tracking has no effect when recording– only during playback.
