Manual Tracking
To manually adjust the tracking use the v/V (TRK)
buttons on the Remote Control during playback.
Notes:
•
Vertical jitter requires a very fine adjustment.
•
Tracking is automatically reset to normal when the tape
is ejected or the power cord is unplugged for more than
3 seconds.
Search
This function lets you visually search for a tape sec-
tion in either direction: forward and backward. During
the high-speed picture search modes, the audio is
muted and horizontal lines (noise bars) appear. Also,
a short time is needed to stabilize the tape speed
when re-entering the PLAY mode so slight interfer-
ence may be observed during this time.
To search:
1. Press m (BACKWARD) or M (FORWARD)
during playback.
2. To return to playback, press H
H (PLAY).
Note:
After 3 minutes in SEARCH mode the unit returns to PLAY
mode to protect the tape and video heads.
Still Picture and Frame-by-Frame Playback
1. Press X (PAUSE/STEP) during playback.
A still picture appears on the TV screen and the
audio is muted.
2 If the still picture vibrates vertically, stabilize it by
using v/V (TRK) on the Remote Control.
3. Press X (PAUSE/STEP) repeatedly to advance
the video picture one frame at a time.
4. To return to playback, press H
H (PLAY).
Note:
After 5 minutes in STILL mode the unit stops to protect the
tape and video heads.
