Your video recorder is equipped with automatic tracking control.
For most tapes this will automatically adjust the tracking to suit
the particular tape you are playing. In some circumstances it may
be necessary to make manual tracking adjustments. This is
usually only associated with old or worn tapes or recordings
made on old or worn recorders. If the automatic tracking control
fails to operate correctly you will see noise bars across the picture
as shown on the left below. To correct this you can override the
automatic control and adjust
the tracking manually by
pressing the TV PROG
buttons.

Digital TBC/NR
(VHS Deck Only)
Your video recorder is equipped with a Digital TBC (Time Base
Corrector) that removes jitter from fluctuating video signals to
deliver a stable picture even with old tapes and rental cassettes.
The on/off of Digital 3-DNR (Noise Reduction) which cuts noise
and enables clear picture reproduction is also linked to this
function.
* The default setting is "ON".
We recommend that you use the Digital TBC feature when...
... playing back a tape recorded on a camcorder.
... playing back a tape repeatedly used.
... using this video recorder as the player for editing.

NOTES:
●
If you play back a tape recorded under poor TV reception
condition, there may be cases where the picture becomes
more stable with "Digital TBC/NR" set to "OFF".
●
When "Digital TBC/NR" is set to "ON", if you play back a tape
where certain types of signals are recorded (using a PC or
some character generators), the playback picture may be
distorted. If this is the case, set "Digital TBC/NR" to "OFF".
