has excess "noise"
in the picture
(often looking like vibration
or interference
at the
top or bottom
of the screen).
To correct the picture,
you will have
to manually
track the tape. To do this:
O
While the tape is playing,
press the channel
buttons
on the
front panel until the picture
is clear of excess "noise."
O

automatic
tracking,
press both front panel
CHANNEL

at the same time. Automatic

is
useful when you want to find specific points on a tape. The
counter
will not work with blank tapes, on blank sections
of tape,
or when the VCR's power is off.

Your VCR will automatically

when you load a tape into the VCR. It will display
the current
