Playing a cassette

When playback starts, the VCR automatically
adjusts the tracking for clear pictures and sound.

To stop playback, press the STOP button.
For the best picture quality when playing a cassette, the video heads must be aligned with the recorded track. This alignment
is called tracking. When playing back a tape, your VCR automatically adjusts the tracking on a video tape, but occasionally a
cassette may require some manual adjustment. Keep in mind that picture distortion often occurs at the beginning of a tape.
Automatic Tracking

Turn the TV on and insert a cassette into your VCR.
Press the PLAY button, if necessary.

If the VCR indicator on the front panel does not light,
press the TV/VCR button. After a few seconds of auto
tracking, you will hear sound from the video tape.
Note: Press the A.TRK button to automatically
adjust cassette tracking again.
Manual Tracking
Press the TRACKING(VR9180) or CH/TRK(VR9160) buttons
on the remote control up or down until the picture improves.
Note: Depending on the tape used, the noise on the screen
may not be completely eliminated, especially when the
tape was recorded on another VCR.
