MANUAL TRACKING
For best picture quality, the VCR video head
must be aligned with the recorded track on the
tape; this alignment is called tracking.
Videocassettes recorded on other VCRs and
videocassettes with copy protection may require
some manual adjustment.
To adjust manually, press CH/TRK up or down as
necessary until the best picture possible is
achieved.
NOTE: Picture distortion often occurs at the beginning
of a tape. Let the tape play for a moment to see
if the distortion clears. If manual tracking adjust-
ments do not produce a clear picture, there may
be a problem with the videotape.
