Special Effect Playbacks
Auto tracking
Each time a tape is inserted, auto tracking starts
working and continuously analyses the signal to adjust
for optimum picture quality during playback. So, there
is no need for you to minimize noises in most tapes
during playback.
Manual tracking
• During normal playback:
If auto tracking cannot eliminate noises well
during playback, press VCR CH / .
• During a slow motion picture:
Press VCR CH / to minimize noises in the
slow motion picture.
• During a still picture:
Press VCR CH / to reduce jitter in the still
picture.
To cancel manual tracking, stop the tape, eject the
tape, then re-insert it.
Note:
If you keep pressing
VCR CH
/ button, you
might get “USE CLEANING CASSETTE” message
on the screen. Please disregard this message and
re-adjust the tracking. However, if the message
appears automatically (without pressing
VCR CH
/ ), this indicates that your video heads are dirty.
You can locate an index marked at the beginning of
each recording on a tape recorded on this VCR (or
an indexed tape).

number is displayed on the TV screen before
starting play.
