NOISE CANCEL (in the Still mode)

This feature allows you to reposition or reduce the noise lines of a still picture. Press the PAUSE/STILL button so that the noise lines change position on the screen so you can see the picture in its entirety with- out distracting noise lines.

NOTE: This feature can be activated ONLY when viewing a tape recorded in the SLP mode. If the tape was originally recorded in the SP or LP mode, the still picture may revert to black and white in addition to the “noise bars”. This is normal.

VERTICAL HOLD CONTROL

In the Pause/Still mode only, when the picture begins to vibrate vertically, stabilize the picture by pressing the CHANNEL K or L button.

NOTE:

If there are video noise lines on the screen, reposition or reduce them. Refer to “NOISE CANCEL”.

TRACKING ADJUSTMENT

Tracking adjustment will be set automatically (Digital Tracking function) when you start play- back.

However when playing pre-recorded tapes or tapes recorded on units other than your own, noise lines (black and white streaks) may appear on the play- back picture. If this occurs, you can adjust the tracking control manually by pressing the CHAN- NEL K or L button until the streaks disappear. To return to the DTR function, stop the tape once and start playback again.

RENTAL PLAYBACK

This function enables you to improve the picture quality when playing back worn cassettes such as rented tapes.
