VERTICAL HOLD CONTROL
In the Pause/Still mode only, when the picture begins
to vibrate vertically, stabilize the picture by pressing
the CHANNEL K or L button.
NOTE:
If there are video noise lines on the screen, see Tracking
Adjustment section.
STILL PICTURE
You can view a still picture on the TV screen during
playback (the Still mode). Press the PAUSE/STILL
button during playback. Only tapes recorded in the
SLP mode will show the least amount of lines. Press
the PLAY/K button to return to playback.
NOTES:

Usually there will be video "noise" lines (black
and white streaks or dots) on the screen. This is
normal.
If the tape was originally recorded in SP or LP
mode, the still picture will be black and white in
addition to the "noise" lines.
Before recording, make sure:
The desired channel is selected by pressing the num-
ber buttons on the remote control or the CHANNEL
Up/Down button. (If the TV/VCR is connected to a
cable box or satellite box, the TV/VCR must be on
CH3 or CH4, then the channel to be recorded is
selected on the cable box or satellite box. )
There is a tape with its safety tab into the VCR.
The desired recording speed is selected in SP(stan-
dard play) or SLP(super long play) mode by press-
ing the SPEED button on the remote control.

If you decide to record

the hole with plastic

Plastic Tape
This is not a fault of the machine, but is a by-
product of the technology involved in producing
a TV/VCR with 2 video heads.
•
If it is left in the Still mode for more than five
minutes, the TV/VCR will automatically switch to
the Stop mode.
TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
•
Tracking adjustment will be set automatically
(Digital Tracking function) when you start play-
back.
•
However when playing pre-recorded tapes or tapes
recorded on units other than your own, noise lines
(black and white streaks) may appear on the play-
back picture. If this occurs, you can adjust the
tracking control manually by pressing the CHAN-
NEL
K or L button until the streaks disappear. To
return to the DTR function, stop the tape once and
start playback again.

tape to the point at which you want to begin
recording.)
NOTE: This unit will ONLY record and view the
same channel.
