Adjusting tracking condition

Automatic tracking adjustment

automatic tracking feature continuously analyzes the
signal to enable optimum picture quality during playback.

If automatic tracking cannot eliminate noises well during
playback, press SET +/– to eliminate the noise. "MANUAL
TR." will appear on the screen. Press it once for a fine
adjustment, or press and hold for a coarse adjustment.

Notes:
• The audio output is muted during PICTURE SEARCH,
STILL PICTURE, SLOW MOTION and FRAME BY FRAME
PICTURE.
• During picture search mode, there will be noise bars. This is
not a defect.
• Playback will commence after approx. 5 minutes to protect
the video tape against excessive wear during pause mode.

Video head cleaning

Video head clogging
The video heads are the means by
which the DVD/VCR reads the picture
from the tape during playback. In the
unlikely event that the heads become
dirty enough to be clogged, no picture
will be displayed. This can easily be
determined if, during playback of a
known good tape, there is good sound,
but no picture (picture is extremely
snowy). If this is the case, the DVD/VCR
need to check and clean by the qualified
service personnel.
Notes:
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE VIDEO HEADS OR
SERVICE THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE REAR COVER.
• Video heads may eventually wear out and should be
replaced when they fail to produce clear pictures.
• To help prevent video head clogging, use only good quality
VHS tapes. Discard worn out tapes.
