Advanced Features
Adjusting the Tracking
automatic tracking
Your VCR automatically adjusts the tape to give you the best quality picture.
When you start playback of a newly inserted tape, the DIGITAL TRACKING
light (D) will flash, showing that the VCR is adjusting the picture. When the VCR
has finished adjusting the picture, the DIGITAL TRACKING light will shine
steadily.
A certain amount of "noise" in the picture or sound is normal while the VCR is
tracking a tape.
manual tracking
From time to time, you might play a tape that 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 have to manually track the tape.
1 While the tape is playing, press CHANNEL on the front panel until the
picture is clear of excess noise.
2 To continue automatic tracking, press both front panel CHANNEL buttons
at the same time. Automatic tracking will also resume when you eject the
tape.
slow tracking
Slow tracking is used to adjust the playback quality during slow motion playback
and still frame. You can only use slow tracking if your tape was recorded in
extended play (EP) speed. To adjust the slow tracking, put a tape into slow
motion, then press CHANNEL on the front panel until the best picture is
obtained.
Time Counter
Your VCR has a time counter that shows the amount of time the tape has run
in hours, minutes, and seconds. This counter is useful when you want to find
specific points on a tape. The counter will not work when playing blank tapes
or on blank sections of tape, or when the VCR's power is off.
setting the counter
To set the counter to "0H00M00S," press CANCEL on the remote control.
You cannot reset the counter if you are using the VCR's menus.
The counter will reset to "- H - - M - - S" when you eject a tape. When you
load a tape again, the counter will display "0H00M00S".
