Speed Search
Speed search allows you to advance or reverse the tape at an increased speed
by pressing the FORWARD or REVERSE button twice. See the speed search
times for each tape speed. Press PLAY to return to normal viewing speed.

Skip Search
Each time you press SKIP-SEARCH during playback the tape advances 30 seconds. You can
press the button up to six times consecutively to move 180 seconds (3 minutes) ahead.
Tracking
Your TV/VCR has automatic tracking which removes streaks and “noise” from the picture.
Automatic tracking is activated when you insert a tape or turn on the VCR. Occasionally you
may need to manually adjust tracking, especially if the tape was recorded on a different VCR.
Use the TRACKING
+/–
buttons to remove streaks and noise. You can also use tracking when
pausing a tape to reduce the noise of the stilled picture.
When manually adjusting the picture, automatic tracking is turned off. To turn automatic
tracking back on press the AUTO TRACK button.
Tracking has no effect when recording– only during playback.
