Tracking (VHS Deck only)
Occasionally, when you play a tape in the VHS deck that
was recorded on a different VCR or on a VHS Camcorder,
visual noise (white streaks) may appear if the recorded
tracks on it do not align precisely with the playback heads
on your deck.
Your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR is equipped with an Auto-
matic Digital Tracking System. This system is activated
whenever you insert a tape to play.
Sometimes, however, you may need to use the manual
tracking keys to adjust the picture. Press the TRK/MENU
▲
or the TRK/MENU
▼
key to move the white streaks up
or down and out of the picture. When you do this, the
Automatic Digital Tracking System is disabled. It can be
reactivated again by pressing the
AUTO TRACK
key behind the
door on the right-hand tower on the front of the 8mm/VHS
Dual-Deck VCR.
Video Sequencing and Loop Play
With Video Sequencing, your 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR will
play an 8mm tape, then automatically activate the VHS
deck to begin playing when the 8mm tape is through.
Tip:
You can use the manual
tracking buttons during
Play Still or Slow Motion
viewing to reduce picture
jitter. You can also use
these buttons to minimize
noise when playing back
stereo audio.
Tracking only affects tape
playback. It has no effect
during recording. The
tracking buttons do not
affect the 8mm deck,
because 8mm tracking is
always automatically
controlled.
Tip:
If you press
STOP
, and then
FWD
or
REW
, the tape will
fast-forward or rewind
without the picture on the
screen. Do this whenever
you don't really need to
search the picture, because
it is much faster and it
causes less wear on the
tape and on the VCR heads.
