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 TRACK – /+ 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, eject the tape and reinsert it.
Tracking has no effect when recording– only during playback.

Time Counter
The time counter shows the actual time used in recording or playing back a
tape. The time counter helps locate the beginning or end of recorded events. It
resets to 0:00:00 whenever a tape is ejected from the TV/VCR.
For example, if you record a 30–minute program at the beginning of a tape,
rewind it, and then want to go to the end of the first program to start another
recording:
1. Press the INFO button twice to display only the time counter.
Seconds
2. Press the CLEAR button to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.
3. Press FF to advance a tape until the time counter reads 0:30:00.
4. Press STOP. This is the approximate end of a 30-minute program (you may
want to press PLAY to verify). When the tape is cued correctly, you can
begin recording.
5. Press the INFO button to remove the time counter from the screen and
return to the normal display mode.
