Tracking Control
Auto Tracking
The automatic tracking function adjusts the picture to
remove snow or streaks.
The AUTO TRACKING function works in the following
cases:
A tape is played back for the first time.
Tape speed (SP, LP, SLP) changes.
Streaks or snow appear because of scratches on the tape.
Manual Tracking
If noise appears on the screen during playback, press
either TRK/PRESET(-/+) (v/V) on the Remote Control
until the noise on the screen is reduced.
In case of vertical jitter, adjust these controls very carefully.
Tracking is automatically reset to normal when the tape is
ejected or the power cord is unplugged for more than 3
seconds.
Special Effect Playback
Special effects playback notes
Horizontal lines (noise bars) will appear on the TV screen.
This is normal.
The audio is automatically muted during special effect modes,
so there is no sound during search.
During the high-speed picture search modes, a short time is
needed to stabilize tape speed when re-entering the PLAY
mode. Slight interference may be observed during this time.

This function lets you visually search forward and back-
ward for a desired scene on your tape.
1 Press SCAN (m) or SCAN (M) during playback.
The Recorder Combi Receiver will be activated in the

Receiver will automatically enter the PLAY mode, to pro-
tect the tape and video heads.

1 Press PAUSE(X) during playback.
A still picture appears on the TV screen.
If a still picture vibrates vertically, stabilize it by using

If the Recorder Combi Receiver is left in the STILL mode
for more than 5 minutes, the Recorder Combi Receiver
will automatically enter the STOP mode to protect the tape
and video heads.
