Sony SLV-D271PDVD - Manual (Page 44)

44 US Playing a tape
Although the VCR automatically adjusts the tracking when
playing a tape, distortion may occur if the recording is in poor
condition. In this case, manually adjust the tracking.
Press TRACKING +/– to display the tracking meter. The
distortion should disappear as you press one of the two tracking
buttons.
To resume automatic tracking adjustment, eject the tape and
reinsert it.
Note
• The auto tracking adjustment cannot be guaranteed to work with tapes recorded in the LP
mode on other VCRs.
