Tracking
"Tracking" is a term that describes how the TV/VCR "locks on" to the
signal recorded on the tape. If the TV/VCR is not tracking correctly, the
picture during playback will be jumpy and distorted.
Your TV/VCR is equipped with a sophisticated automatic tracking fea-
ture that can perfectly track a tape's signal without adjustment from
the user.
On some rare occasions, though, manual tracking may be required. To
manually track a tape:
1. Begin playing back a tape.
2. Press and hold down the CH buttons on the remote control, one at a
time. Adjust the tracking using these buttons until the picture is no
longer distorted.

Basic Recording

Your TV/VCR makes it easy to record a program you are watching. To
do this :
1. Place the tape on which you want to record in the cassette compart-
ment. Fast forward or rewind to the point where you want to begin
recording.
2. Tune to the channel you want to record.
3. Press the SPEED button repeatedly to select the tape speed at
which you want to record : SP or EP
4. Press the REC/OTR button once. The tape will start recording the
channel you are watching, and also add an index mark. The REC light
on the front panel will light on red during recording.
If the tape has its erasure prevention tab removed, the tape will eject
when your press REC/OTR button.
5. Press STOP/EJECT to stop recording.
