ated.

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 (TRK)
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.

during playback.
