Tracking adjustment will be set automatically
(Digital Tracking function) when you start play-
back.
•
However when playing pre-recorded tapes or tapes
recorded on units other than your own, noise lines
(black and white streaks) may appear on the play-
back picture. If this occurs, you can adjust the
tracking control manually by pressing the CHAN-
NEL
K
or
L
button until the streaks disappear. To
return to the DTR function, stop the tape once and
start playback again.
This feature allows you to reposition or reduce the
noise lines of a still picture. Press the PAUSE/STILL
button so that the noise lines change position on the
screen so you can see the picture in its entirety with-
out distracting noise lines.
NOTE: This feature can be activated ONLY when
viewing a tape recorded in the SLP mode. If the tape
was originally recorded in the SP or LP mode, the
still picture may revert to black and white in addition
to the “noise bars”. This is normal.
In the Pause/Still mode only, when the picture begins
to vibrate vertically, stabilize the picture by pressing
the CHANNEL
K
or
L
button.
NOTE:
If there are video noise lines on the screen, reposition
or reduce them. Refer to “NOISE CANCEL”.
This function enables you to improve the picture
quality when playing back worn cassettes such as
rented tapes.
