Adjusting the Picture

Adjusting the tracking

Though the VCR automatically adjusts the tracking
when playing a tape (the AUTO TRACKING indicator
flashes in the display window, then lights steadily),
distortion may occur if the tape was recorded in poor
condition. If so, manually adjust the tracking
condition.

To use APC during playback
The APC function automatically works on all types of
tapes. You can play a tape using the APC function
even if the tape was not recorded with it.
To use APC while recording
Whenever you insert a tape and first start recording,
the VCR adjusts to the tape using the APC function.
This adjustment is retained until the tape is ejected.
There is a short delay before the VCR actually starts
recording while the VCR analyzes the tape.
Note
When the APC function does not work properly due to
a video head clogging or other reasons, an alarm signal
is output from the WARNING OUT terminal. While
recording, the REC indicator flashes in the display
window, but the recording continues even in this
condition.
