ated.
Basic Instructions

tape and unit power is off.
6. Fast wind tape:

Note:
It is not necessary to select the tape speed for play-
back because it is automatically selected by the unit.
Auto Tracking
Automatic tracking adjusts the picture to remove
snow or streaks and beings when:
•Atape is played for the first time.
The tape speed (SP, LP, SLP) changes.
Streaks or snow appear due to scratches on the
tape.
Manual Tracking
To manually adjust the tracking use the v/V (-/+)
buttons on the Remote Control during playback.
Notes:
Vertical jitter requires a very fine adjustment.
Tracking is automatically reset to normal when the tape
is ejected or the power cord is unplugged for more than
3 seconds.
Search
This function lets you visually search for a tape sec-
tion in either direction: forward and backward. During
the high-speed picture search modes, the audio is
muted and horizontal lines (noise bars) appear. Also,
a short time is needed to stabilize the tape speed
when re-entering the PLAY mode so slight interfer-
ence may be observed during this time.
To search:
1. Press m (REW) or M (FF) during playback.
Press and hold m (REW) or M (FF) during
tape fast winding.

mode to protect the tape and video heads.
