Tracking adjustment will be carried out
automatically whenever a new tape is played. You
can instruct the BeoCord VX 7000 to carry out
such an automatic tracking adjustment any time
during playback simply by pressing GO. In a few
instances, however, a more thorough adjustment
of the picture may be necessary...

Streaks in the picture or noise in the
sound may be due to imprecise tracking
of the video tape. This is seen most
often when playing back prerecorded
tapes or tapes recorded on another
video tape recorder.

Tracking adjustment can be carried out
any time during normal playback, while
you play the tape in slow motion, or
while a still picture is on the screen.

To adjust tracking of the video tape, call
up the main menu (see page 7) and
select the item Tracking (Alternatively,
press LIST to display TRACKNG then
GO on the Beo4 remote control).

Then press
