NOISE CANCEL (in the Still mode) 

This feature allows you to reposition or reduce the noise lines of a still picture. 
Press PAUSE button repeatedly so that the noise lines change position on the screen 
and you can see the picture in its entirety without distracting noise lines. 

NOTE:

 This feature can be activated ONLY when you use a tape recorded in the SLP 

mode. 

VERTICAL HOLD CONTROL 

When the picture begins to vibrate vertically, stabilize the picture by pressing CHANNEL 

 or 

 button in the Still mode. 

NOTES: 

• If there are video noise lines on the screen, reposition or reduce them. Refer to "NOISE 
CANCEL". 
• When the picture is distorted or rolling vertically, adjust the vertical hold control on your 
TV. 
• Some latest TV's do not have a user adjustable vertical hold. 

TRACKING ADJUSTMENT 

• Tracking adjustment will be set automatically (Digital TRacking function) when you 
start playback "DTR" appears on the display. 

• 

NOTE:

 The following function is controlled only by the buttons on the VCR. 

When playing pre-recorded tapes or tapes recorded on units other than your own, noise 
lines (black and white streaks) may appear on the playback picture. If this occurs, you can 
adjust the tracking control manually by pressing TRACKING 

 or 

 button until the 

streaks disappear. To return to the DTR function, stop the tape once and start playback 
again. 

AUTO REWIND 

When the end of a tape is reached during recording, playback, or fast-forward, the tape 
will automatically rewind to the beginning. After that, the VCR will eject the tape and turn 
itself to off.
