Notes:

• You might need to slightly readjust tracking

for each tape you play.

• If the sound of a recording made on

another VHS Hi-Fi VCR is poor (and 

Hi-

Fi

 does not appear), you might be able to

improve it by adjusting the tracking. 

Hi-

Fi

 appears when the tracking is correctly

adjusted.
