When playback starts, the VCR automatically adjusts the tracking for clear picture and sound.

Manual Tracking
For best picture quality, the VCR video head must be aligned with the recorded track on the tape;
this alignment is called tracking.
Videocassettes recorded on other VCRs and videocassettes with copy protection may require
some manual adjustment.
To adjust manually, press CH/TRK button up or down as necessary until the best picture possible is
achieved.
Note: Picture distortion often occurs at the beginning of a tape. Let the tape play for a moment to
see if the distortion clears.If manual tracking adjustments do not produce a clear picture, there
may be a problem with the videotape.
