The Picture Alignment feature allows you to adjust the alignment
manually to obtain the best possible picture.
When noise bars or streaks appear during playback, adjust alignment
manually by pressing the TRK (ior j) buttons until the picture is clear
and stable.
Result : The tracking bar appears.
The image is adjusted.
The tracking bar disappears when you release the button.
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 (
ior j
)
button on the remote control until the best possible picture and
sound is obtained
To resume Automatic Digital Tracking, press the two CHANNEL buttons
on the front of the VTR at the same time until the AUTO light comes on.
If the tape is old or worm, it may be impossible to improve the picture
performance. if you press the PAUSE/STILL button the image may
shimmer. This way also be reduced by adjusting the Tracking.
