Using the Playback Features

Picture Search

You can search for a specific tape location during playback by fast forwarding or
rewinding the tape. Sound is turned off during picture search. Picture search works best
for tapes recorded in SP or SLP speed.

Automatic Tracking

The VCR has automatic tracking which adjusts the picture when playing back a tape
recorded on another VCR. Automatic tracking is turned on whenever a tape is inserted.

VCR or camcorder. Tracking is used when playing a tape, and it has no effect during
recording.
