Tracking
Your VCR has automatic tracking which r e moves streaks and "noise" from the picture. Automatic
tracking is activated when you insert a tape or tur n on the VCR. Occasionally you may need to
manually adjust tracking, especially if the tape was r ecorded on a different VCR. Use the
TRACKING –/+ buttons to r emove streaks and noise. Y ou can also use tracking when pausing a
tape to reduce the noise of the stilled pictur e .
When manually adjusting the pictur e , automatic tracking is tur ned off. To turn automatic tracking
back on, eject the tape and r e insert it.
Tracking has no effect when recording– only during playback.
