Tracking
For the best picture quality when playing a cassette, the video heads must be aligned with the recorded track. This alignment
is called tracking. When playing back a tape, your VCR automatically adjusts the tracking on a video tape, but occasionally a
cassette may require some manual adjustment. Keep in mind that picture distortion often occurs at the beginning of a tape.
Automatic Tracking
Turn the TV on and insert a cassette into your VCR. Press
1
the PLAY button, if necessary.
After a few seconds of auto tracking, you would hear the
2
sound from the video tape.
Manual Tracking
Press the TRK buttons on the remote control up or down until
the picture improves.
During still mode, press the TRK buttons to reduce picture
"jitter" (bouncing up and down). A small amount of "jitter" or
some "streaks" are normal during still viewing.
Note: The noise on the screen may not be completely eliminated
depending on the tape used, especially when the tape
was recorded on another VCR.
Instant play
When the VCR has a tape loaded and power is off, simply press the PLAY button to start tape playback.
You don't need to press the POWER button.
