JVC TV 20240 - Manual (Page 27)

TRACKING ADJUSTMENT
During playback, if tracking (the
alignment of the video heads on the
video cassette tape) deviates, an unclear
picture is displayed. This TV/VCR Combo
is equipped with an automatic tracking
function. There are are cases when
manual tracking adjustment is needed.
They include:
• When the auto tracking does not work
properly and the picture remains unclear.
• If the picture moves vertically during
playback
Open the cover of the TV/VCR
combo front panel.
Press the C HANNEL + and
C HANNEL - on the front panel
simultaneously during playback.
Note: No special tracking indication will
appear on screen.
Press either the C HANNEL + or
C HANNEL - buttons to reduce the
disturbance or vertical vibration
of the picture.
Note: Once video cassette is removed,
manual tracking will automatically be
turned off.

INDEX SEARCH
Most JVC-brand VCR’s automatically
insert an index mark at the start of a
recording. The I
NDEX S EARCH +/- buttons
can be used to scan a cassette for
these marks, to quickly find the
beginning of a taped program.
I NDEX S EARCH +
Scans tape forward for index marks. If
there are numerous programs recorded
on one tape, you can press the I
NDEX
S EARCH button a number of times to
search for that number of marks. (For
example four presses will move ahead
four index marks). A recording up to nine
index marks ahead may be accessed.
I NDEX S EARCH -
Scans tape backward for index marks. If
there are numerous programs recorded
on one tape, you can press the I
NDEX
S EARCH button a number of times to
search for that number of marks. (For
example four presses will move back four
index marks). A recording up to nine
index marks behind may be accessed.
NOTES:
Index marks are a
function of JVC-
made video
decks. Therefore,
I
NDEX S EARCH
cannot be used
on commercially
produced tapes,
or tapes recorded
on non-JVC brand
VCR’s, since these
tapes will not have
the JVC index
marks recorded
on them.
If you try to begin
an index search at
a point on the
tape between two
programs, I
NDEX
S EARCH may not
work correctly.
Either fast-forward,
or rewind the tape
a bit and tr y I
NDEX
S EARCH again.
