Using the Playback Features
Playing a Tape
Automatic Tracking
The TV/VCR has automatic tracking which adjusts the
picture when playing a tape that was recorded on
another VCR. Automatic tracking is turned on
whenever a tape is inserted or the TV/VCR’s power is
turned on.
Manual Tracking
Occasionally, you may need to manually adjust
tracking on a tape recorded on a different VCR or
camcorder. Tracking is used when playing a tape. It
has no effect during recording.
• When streaks or snow appear in the picture during
normal playback or slow motion, press TRACK + or -
on the remote or CHANNEL up or down on the
TV/VCR for the best possible picture.
• To return to Automatic Tracking the tape must be
removed from the VCR and re-inserted.
Time Counter
The time counter helps locate the beginning or end of
programs you taped. The time counter automatically
resets to 0:00:00 whenever a tape is inserted, or you
can press CLEAR when the time counter is displayed.
For example, if a 30-minute program was recorded at
the beginning of the tape and you wanted to record
another program after it, you should:
1. Insert the pre-recorded tape.
2. Press DISPLAY twice to display the time counter
and fast forward the tape until 30 minutes appears
on the screen. Then you can begin recording a
second program.
This is the approximate end of the program and you
can begin recording at this spot.
3. Press DISPLAY again or eject the tape to remove the
time counter from the screen.
Commercial Scan
This is useful for skipping commercials or short
program segments. Press SKIP/SEARCH during
playback to advance the tape approximately 60 seconds.
