OTHER FEATURES
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 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 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:
