Additional Operations

Adjusting the picture

Adjusting the tracking

Although the VCR automatically adjusts the tracking when playing a tape
(the

indicator flashes in the display window, then goes off), distortion

may occur if the tape was recorded in poor condition. If so, manually adjust
the tracking.

Press TR/– buttons on the VCR to
display the tracking meter. The distortion should
disappear as you press one of the two buttons.
(The

indicator lights up.) To resume automatic

tracking adjustment, eject the tape and reinsert it.
