In case of vertical jitter, adjust these controls very carefully.
Tracking is automatically reset to normal when the tape is
ejected or the power cord is unplugged for more than 3 sec-
onds.
Special Playback Features
Notes on special playback features
Horizontal lines (noise bars) will appear on the TV screen. This
is normal.
The audio is automatically muted during special playback
modes, so there is no sound during search, slow motion, etc.
During high-speed picture search, a short time is needed to sta-
bilize tape speed when re-entering Play mode. Slight interfer-
ence may be observed during this time.

ward for a desired scene on your tape.
