tracking position for clearest picture and sound. Buttons on the remote
transmitter give you manual control should tracking adjustments be nec-
essary.

or removed to maintain optimum picture performance during both
recording and playback.

the clock twice a year.Simply activate the Daylight SavingsTime option in
the Set Clock menu and forget it!

active broadcast channel into memory.Then,only active channels pro-
grammed into memory are tuned using the channel up/down buttons on
either the remote or front panel of theVCR.Automatic channel preset

able. Channels can be manually added or deleted.
