Tracking
Your VCR has automatic
tracking
which removes interference
like streaks or "snow"
from the picture. Automatic
tracking
is
activated
when you insert a tape or turn on the VCR.
Occasionally
you may need to manually adjust tracking,
especially
if the tape was recorded on a different
VCR. Just
use the CHANNEL UP and DOWN buttons
(AT) on the VCR's
front
panel or remote control to reduce the distortion.
By
pressing and holding
either of the buttons, you should notice a
point when the picture becomes clearer. If it gets too much
distortion
on the screen, use the opposite
button to reverse the
amount of tracking
until the picture is clear.
You can also use this tracking
method when you pause a tape's
playback to reduce jittering
of the picture.
When you manually
adjust the picture, automatic
tracking
is
turned
off. To turn automatic
tracking
back on, eject the tape
and reinsert it. Tracking has no effect during recording--only
playback.
Time Counter
The time counter shows the actual time it takes to record a
program
or play back a segment of a recorded tape. It helps
locate the beginning
or end of programs you taped. The time
counter
resets to 0:00:00 whenever
the tape is ejected from
the VCR or the RESET button
on the remote control
is pressed.
For example,
if you record a 30-minute
program
at the
beginning
of the tape and you want to go to the end of
that program
to begin another
recording,
you would:
1.
Press INFO on the remote control
until you see the time
counter on the TV screen.
2.
Press RESET to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.
3.
Press FWD to forward
the tape until the time counter
reads 0:30:00.
4.
Press STOP. This is the approximate
end of the 30-minute
program
(You may want to press PLAY to verify). Now, you
can begin recording
at this spot.
5,
Press INFO twice to remove the time counter from the
screen and return to the normal display mode.
