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:ON is selected in the Tracking menu after the picture is
adjusted automatically.
If auto tracking does not work, the tracking was probably last adjusted manually.
Adjusting the tracking manuaily during playback
When the playback picture proves to have streaks or snow during normal playback,
Still picture or Slow picture, adjust the picture manually using the Tracking menu.
Press either A+ or 7- to select TRACKING ADJUST in Tracking menu to obtain
the best possible picture. Press RETURN and adjust by pressing A+ or V-. 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.
