Tracking Adjustments

Auto tracking
Each time a tape is inserted, auto
tracking starts working and
continuously analyses the signal to
adjust for optimum picture quality
during playback. So, there is no need
for you to minimize noises in most
tapes during playback.
Manual tracking
• During normal playback:
If auto tracking cannot eliminate
noises well during playback, press
CHANNEL 5 or ∞.
• During a slow motion picture:
Press CHANNEL 5 or ∞ to
minimize noises in the slow motion
picture.
• During a still picture:
Press CHANNEL 5 or ∞ to reduce
jitter in the still picture.
To cancel manual tracking, stop the
tape, eject the tape, then re-insert it.

You can easily find out this number by
checking the TV programme list of
your local newspaper or TV guide
magazine.
Simply entering the programme's
SHOWVIEW using the remote control
will make the VCR record the pro-
gramme.
Before using SHOWVIEW for the first
time, you need to set the guide channel
number for each local channel number.
The local channel number (USER

TV or VCR to watch a programme,
while the guide channel number is the
one assigned to that local channel and
you can also find it in the TV pro-
gramme list of your local newspaper or
TV guide magazine.
