Maximum recording time of a tape
The quality of tape you use greatly affects record/playback quality and the life of the
VIDEO TV. Use only cassette tapes that have the official VHS logo.
High-grade tapes give the best results, especially at the EP speed. Th.ey also have
a better oxide coating-that helps prevent dirty video heads. Although "1"-160tapes
offer the longest recording time, they contain thinner tape that is more likely to
stretch or cause tape jams. We suggest that you use T-120 or shorter tapes.
Recording in the SP, LP or EP mode is possible with this unit. When recording,
select the desired recording mode (SP, LP or EP) with TAPE SPEED on the
Commander. During playback, the unit automatically detects the recording format,
and then plays back the tape in the appropriate mode.
The following chart shows the maximum recording times for T-60, T-120 and T-160
tapes at the three recording speeds.

When playing back a tape recorded on another VCR, there might be some picture
noise.
Tracking ensures that the tape is correctly aligned with the playback head. It only
works in the "playback" mode and its principle purpose is to minimize picture shake
and what is called "noise" (fuzzy lines across the picture during playback and still
picture).
It is adjusted either automatically or manually.
Automatic tracking adjustment function
When playback starts, the auto tracking automatically adjusts the picture. "AUTO
TRACKING" flashes for 5 seconds.
The automatic tracking control is activated in the following conditions:
•When the cassette is inserted for the first time.
• When the recording mode on the playback tape is switched from SP to EP and
back again.
• When the picture is distorted by scratches on the tape.
• When TRACKING AUTO/MANUAL is pressed after the picture is adjusted
manually.
If auto tracking does not work, the tracking was probably last adjusted manually.
Adjusting the tracking manually
When the playback picture-proves to have _treaks or snow during normal playback,
adjust the picture manually with TRACKING NORMAL/SLOW (STILL ADJUST).
Press either _ or V to obtain the best possible picture. When playing back a tape
recorded on another VCR, the tracking condition is automatically adjusted on this
VCR.
• Auto tracking adjustment may be impossible when the recording condition of the tape is
poor.
•During auto tracking adjustment, streaks or noise may appear.
