Automatic Tracking

The VCR has automatic tracking which adjusts the picture when playing back a tape

recorded on another VCR. Automatic tracking is turned on whenever a tape is

inserted or the VCR’s power is turned on.

Manual Tracking

Occasionally, you may need to manually adjust tracking on a tape recorded on a

different VCR or camcorder. The TRACKING buttons on the remote or VCR are

used when playing a tape. They have no effect during recording.

• When streaks or snow appear, press TRACKING up

or down for the best possible picture.

• Press TRACKING up or down during stop-action

pause to reduce picture “jitter”.

• Press both TRACKING buttons on the VCR at the

same time to turn automatic tracking back on or

eject the tape and re-insert it.
