As each VTR is different, slight adjustments need to be made in
the way the tape is read. This is called ‘Tracking’. When playback
starts the video recorder automatically adjusts the Tracking to
obtain the best possible picture and sound; Digital Auto Tracking.
The “AUTO”indicator will flash while this adjustment takes place
and the playback picture and sound may be distorted. The VTR
will automatically adjust the Tracking as best it can. If you
playback rented tapes or tapes recorded on other machines, you
may occasionally find that the Digital Auto Tracking is not able to
improve the picture sufficiently. In these instances you will need to
adjust the Tracking manually.
With a tape in and playing, hold down either the TRK (

To resume Automatic Digital Tracking, press the two CHANNEL buttons

If the tape is old or worm, it may be impossible to improve the picture

VPS/PDC Default
66
Programme VPS/PDC is a system of felling the VTR when a
programme actually starts. Typically, when you want to record a
programme you will tell the VTR to start recording, probably, five
minutes before the advertised starting time of the programme and
to finish ten minutes or so after the programme is due to finish. So
even if the programme starts early or finishes late you will
normally still get to see what you wanted to record. However when
live programmes over-run or the day’s television schedule is
changed from that advertised, you may miss the desired
programme which may have been delayed or even cancelled. With
VPS/PDC the VTR will wait until the signal is sent to confirm the
programme is starting and the VTR will record the programme even
if it is two or more, hours late.
