When noise bars or streaks appear during playback, adjust alignment manually by pressing the CH/TRK (i or j) buttons until the picture is clear and stable. Result : The tracking bar appears. The image is adjusted. The tracking bar disappears when you release the button. As each VTR is different, slight adjustments need to be made in the way the tape is read. This is called �Tracking�. When playback starts the video recorder automatically adjusts the Tracking to obtain the best possible picture and sound; Digital Auto Tracking. The �AUTO� indicator will flash while this adjustment takes place and the playback picture and sound may be distorted. The VTR will automatically adjust the Tracking as best it can. If you playback rented tapes or tapes recorded on other machines, you may occasionally find that the Digital Auto Tracking is not able to improve the picture sufficiently. In these instances you will need to adjust the Tracking manually.

BASIC OPERATION

Playing back
This function allows you to play back any pre-recorded cassette.

Playing a Cassette
Programme VPS/PDC is a system of felling the VTR when a programme actually starts. Typically, when you want to record a programme you will tell the VTR to start recording, probably, five minutes before the advertised starting time of the programme and to finish ten minutes or so after the programme is due to finish. So even if the programme starts early or finishes late you will normally still get to see what you wanted to record. However when live programmes over-run or the day�s television schedule is changed from that advertised, you may miss the desired programme which may have been delayed or even cancelled and the VTR will record the programme even if it is two or more, hours late.
