Playing Back a tape recorded on another VCR
When playing back a tape recorded on another VCR, there might be some picture
noise.
Tracking ensures that the tape is correctly aligned with the playback head. It only
works in the “playback” mode and its principle purpose is to minimize picture shake
and
what
is
called
“noise”
(fuzzy
lines
across
the
picture
during
playback
and
still
picture).
It is adjusted either automatically or manually.
Automatic tracking adjustment function
When playback starts, the auto tracking automatically adjusts the picture. “AUTO
TRACKING?” flashes for 5 seconds.
The automatic tracking control is activated in the following conditions:
« When the cassette is inserted for the first time.
*
When
the
recording
mode
on
the
playback
tape
is
switched
from
SP
to
EP
and
back
again.
¢ When the picture is distorted by scratches on the tape.
*
When
TRACKING
AUTO/MANUAL
is
pressed
after
the
picture
is
adjusted
manually.
If auto tracking does not work, the tracking was probably last adjusted manually.
Adjusting the tracking manually
When
the
playback
picture
proves
to
have
streaks
or
snow
during
normal
playback,
adjust
the
picture
manually
with
TRACKING
NORMAL/SLOW
(STILL
ADJUST).
Press
either
A
or
V7
to
obtain
the
best
possible
picture.
When
playing
back
a
tape
recorded
on
another
VCR,
the
tracking
condition
is
automatically
adjusted
on
this
VCR.
*
Auto
tracking
adjustment
may
be
impossible
when
the
recording
condition
of
the
tape
is
poor.

During
auto
tracking
adjustment,
streaks
or
noise
may
appear.
