Tracking
Your VCR has automatic tracking which removes the 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 TRACK buttons to remove the
streaks or snow. You can also use tracking when you pause a
tape to reduce jittering of the picture.
When you manually adjust the picture, automatic tracking is
turned off. To turn automatic tracking back on, press both
TRACK buttons on the front of the VCR at the same time, or
eject the tape and re-insert it. Tracking has no effect during
recording – only playback.

counter resets to 0:00:00 whenever the tape is ejected from
the VCR.
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:
