Automatic Tracking

The VCR has automatic tracking which adjusts the picture when playing back a tape recorded on another VCR. Automatic tracking is turned on whenever a tape is inserted or the VCR’s power is turned on.

Manual Tracking

Occasionally, you may need to manually adjust tracking on a tape recorded on a different VCR or camcorder. The TRACKING buttons on the remote or

CHANNEL*TWCKING on the VCR are used when playing a tape. They have no effect during recording.

When streaks or snow appear during normal or slow-motion playback, press TRACKING up or down on remote or CHANNEL*TRACKING on VCR for the best possible picture. During stop-action pause, use the TRACKING buttons to reduce picture jitter.
