Picture Quality
Manual Tracking
Your VCR is equipped with automatic tracking control. This will
be adequate for most tapes and will automatically adjust the
tracking to suit the particular tape in use but if you insert an old
or worn tape, it may be necessary to manually adjust the track-
ing in order to get the best picture. If automatic tracking fails, you will notice noise bars appear-
ing across the picture; you can correct this by manually overriding the tracking using the follow-
ing steps.
