JVC TV 20240 TV VCR Combo User Manual


 
TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
During playback, if tracking (the
alignment of the video heads on the
video cassette tape) deviates, an unclear
picture is displayed. This TV/VCR Combo
is equipped with an automatic tracking
function. There are are cases when
manual tracking adjustment is needed.
They include:
• When the auto tracking does not work
properly and the picture remains unclear.
• If the picture moves vertically during
playback
Open the cover of the TV/VCR
combo front panel.
Press the CHANNEL + and
CHANNEL - on the front panel
simultaneously during playback.
Note: No special tracking indication will
appear on screen.
Press either the CHANNEL + or
CHANNEL - buttons to reduce the
disturbance or vertical vibration
of the picture.
Note: Once video cassette is removed,
manual tracking will automatically be
turned off.

INDEX SEARCH
Most JVC-brand VCR’s automatically
insert an index mark at the start of a
recording. The INDEX SEARCH +/- buttons
can be used to scan a cassette for
these marks, to quickly find the
beginning of a taped program.
INDEX SEARCH +
Scans tape forward for index marks. If
there are numerous programs recorded
on one tape, you can press the INDEX
SEARCH button a number of times to
search for that number of marks. (For
example four presses will move ahead
four index marks). A recording up to nine
index marks ahead may be accessed.
INDEX SEARCH -
Scans tape backward for index marks. If
there are numerous programs recorded
on one tape, you can press the INDEX
SEARCH button a number of times to
search for that number of marks. (For
example four presses will move back four
index marks). A recording up to nine
index marks behind may be accessed.
NOTES:
Index marks are a
function of JVC-
made video
decks. Therefore,
INDEX SEARCH
cannot be used
on commercially
produced tapes,
or tapes recorded
on non-JVC brand
VCR’s, since these
tapes will not have
the JVC index
marks recorded
on them.
If you try to begin
an index search at
a point on the
tape between two
programs, INDEX
SEARCH may not
work correctly.
Either fast-forward,
or rewind the tape
a bit and try INDEX
SEARCH again.
