TRACKING

OTHER FEATURES

TRACKING

Your VCR has automatic tracking which removes the streaks or snow 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. Just use the TRACK buttons to remove the streaks or snow. You can also use tracking when you pause a tape to reduce jittering of the picture.

When you manually adjust the picture, automatic tracking is turned off. To turn automatic tracking back on, press both TRACK buttons on the front of the VCR at the same time, or eject the tape and re-insert it. Tracking has no effect during recording

– only playback.

TIME COUNTER

The time counter shows the actual time it takes to record a program or play back a segment of a recorded tape. It helps locate the beginning or end of programs you taped. The time counter resets to 0:00:00 whenever the tape is ejected from the VCR.

For example, if you record a 30-minute program at the beginning of the tape and you want to go to the end of that program to begin another recording, you would:

1.Press INFO twice to display the time counter.

2.Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.

3.Press FWD to forward the tape until the time counter reads 0:30:00.

4.Press STOP. This is the approximate end of the program. (You may want to press PLAY to verify.) Now, you can begin recording at this spot.

5.Press INFO twice to remove the time counter from the screen and return to the normal display mode.
