a particular section of a tape. When you wish toview the tape in normal speed, simply press PLAYbutton.

REW F.FWD

Notes:

• The picture will not be as good as in normalplayback (SP or LP) during Visual Search.

• When video searching a pre-recorded tape, itmay cause noise bars (white lines) to movevertically. Also, the picture color fluctuates onand off. This is not an indication of trouble.

• You will get best results when playing backtapes that were recorded in the SLP mode.

tinue playback.Note: The TVCR will automatically switch to the

Stop mode, if it is left in the Pause mode for morethan five minutes.

NOISE CANCELLING

If you use the PAUSE button to freeze the pictureduring playback with tape recorded in SLP mode,

usually there will be video "noise bars" on the TVscreen. This is normal, however, this TVCR has a

special feature that allows you to reposition or

reduce the lines. Each time you pressPAUSE/STILL button the lines will change posi-tion on the "IV screen.

This enables you to see the picture in its entiretywithout distracting noise lines.If the tape was originally recorded in SP or LPmode, the still picture will, in addition to the"noise bars", be black and white.THIS IS NOT A FAULT OF THE MACHINEBUT MERELY A BY-PRODUCT OF THE TECH-NOLOGY INVOLVED IN PRODUCING A

TVCR WITH LONG-PLAY MODE.

TRACKING ADJUSTMENT

When playing pre-recorded tapes or tapes re-corded on units other than your own, noise lines(black and white streaks) may appear on the play-

back picture. If this occurs, adjust the TRACKINGcontrol by pressing CHANNEL "A" or "V" buttonuntil the streaks disappear.To set to center position, press both CHANNEL"A" and '_r" buttons at the same time. (This func-
