Other Functions

Tracking Adjustment and
Vertical Locking Adjustment

– For manual tracking adjustment

The 

I

 

and 

J

 buttons are used to adjust the

tracking when, for example, noise bars on the
picture during normal playback are better
removed manually than by automatic digital
tracking control. To return to automatic digital
tracking control, press both buttons together.

– For slow tracking adjustment

When noise bars appear during still or slow
playback, switch over to slow playback and
adjust with the 

I

 

and 

J

 button to reduce

the noise bars.

– For vertical locking adjustment

Use the 

I

 

and 

J

 buttons to minimize any

vertical jitter during still picture playback.

Other Automatic Functions

Automatic Playback

When a video cassette without an erasure
prevention tab is inserted, the VCR starts
playback automatically.

VCR-off Playback

When the VCR is off, an inserted video
cassette can be played back by pressing
[PLAY].

Automatic Rewinding

When the tape reaches its end during recording
(except for timer recording) or playback, it will
automatically be rewound to the beginning.
During OTR, this function will not work.

Automatic Switching Off and
Ejection

When the VCR is switched off, an inserted
video cassette can be ejected by simply
pressing [EJECT]. The VCR will eject the video
cassette and automatically turn itself off again.

S-VHS Quasi Playback (SQPB)

It is also possible to play back tapes recorded
in the S-VHS system.
– Some picture noise may occur depending on

the type of tape used.

– It is not possible to fully obtain the high

resolution that S-VHS is capable of.

– It is not possible to record in the S-VHS

system with this VCR.
