Locking Your VCR
If a timer recording is programmed,
make sure your VCR is turned off.
Locking your VCR prevents the VCR
from being accidentally turned on.
Tracking
Your VCR has automatic tracking which removes interference like
streaks or “snow” from the picture. Automatic tracking is
automatically 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 TRACKING buttons to reduce the distortion. 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 front of the VCR at the same time, or
eject the tape and re-insert it. Tracking has no effect during
recording– only playback.

Time Counter
The time counter shows the actual time it takes to record a
program or play back a segment of a recorded tape. It helps
locate the beginning or end of programs you taped. The time
counter resets to 0:00:00 whenever the tape is ejected from
the VCR.
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. Press INFO
twice
to display only the time counter.
2. Press CLEAR to reset the time counter to 0:00:00.
