Although the VCR automatically adjusts the tracking when playing a tape
(the 

 indicator flashes in the display window, then goes off), distortion

may occur if the tape was recorded in poor condition. If so, manually adjust
the tracking.

Press the TRACKING +/– buttons on the VCR to
display the tracking meter. The distortion should
disappear as you press one of the two buttons (the

 indicator lights up). To resume automatic

tracking adjustment, eject the tape and reinsert it.

The Adaptive Picture Control (APC) function
automatically improves recording and playback
quality by adjusting the VCR to the condition of
the video heads and tape. To maintain better
picture quality, we recommend that you set APC to
ON in the SET UP MENU (with the APC indicator
in the display window lit).

The APC function automatically works on all types of tapes, including rental
tapes and tapes that were not recorded with APC.

Whenever you insert a tape and first start recording, the VCR adjusts the
tape using the APC function (the APC indicator flashes rapidly). This
adjustment is retained until the tape is ejected.

Press MENU and select SET UP MENU, then set APC to OFF. The APC
indicator in the display window goes off.
