TRACKING
Your VCR has automatic tracking which r emoves the str eaks 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 TRA CKING buttons to r emove 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
TRACKING buttons on the VCR at the same time, or eject the
tape and re-insert it.
Tracking only effects playback—not recor ding.
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:
1. Pr ess INFO twice on the remote to display the time counter.
2. Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.
3. Pr ess FOR W ARD (FWD) to f orward the tape until the time
counter reads 0:30:00.
4. Pr ess ST OP. This is the a pproximate end of the program.
(You may want to press PLA Y to verify.) Now, you can begin
recording at this spot.
5. Press INFO to remove the time counter from the screen and
return to the normal display mode.
