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 tracking in order to get the best picture.
If automatic tracking fails, you will notice noise bars appearing across the picture; you can
correct this by manually overriding the tracking using the following steps.

Digital TBC/NR
You VCR is equipped with a Digital TBC (Time Base Corrector0 that removes jitter from
fluctuating video signals to deliver a stable picture even with old tapes and rental cassettes. The
on/off of Digital 3-DNR (Noise Reduction) which cuts noise and enables clear picture
reproduction is also linked to this function.
