When playback starts, the VCR automatically adjusts the tracking for clear pictures and sound (Digital Auto Tracking). The “DT” indicator blinks during the adjusting.

If the VCR cannot locate the best possible tracking point, hold down one of CH/TRK to adjust the tracking manually.

To resume the digital auto tracking, hold down both CHANNEL on the VCR simultaneously for about 2 seconds.

The digital auto tracking is activated only in the playback mode.

To reset the manual tracking point to the center, press both CHANNEL on the VCR simultaneously for not longer than 1 second.

The noise on the screen may not be completely eliminated depending on the tape used, especially when the tape was recorded on another VCR.

You can view high quality pictures while playing back a tape recorded in the SLP tape speed.

By pressing 19repeatedly, the 19HEAD mode is displayed on the TV screen as follows:

19U-HEAD AUTO: Usually set to “AUTO”. As the playback starts, the VCR automatically activates the 19head and reproduces high quality pictures.

19U-(Continued)HEAD OFF: Set to “OFF” if the pictures are marred by dots.

Note

During playback with the 19head, momentary noises or shakes may be produced when you change the mode to the picture search or variable speed playback.
