Tracking
During playback, the CLOCK SELECT
and SET buttons are also the tracking
buttons. Tracking is used when you play
a tape that was recorded on a different
camcorder (or VCR).
Note: Only tapes recorded in SP (standard
play) can be played.
When you play a tape not recorded on
your camcorder, streaks may appear if
the recorded tracks on the tape do not
align precisely with the playback heads.
To remove the streaks and align the
heads with the tape tracks, press either
one of the tracking buttons to move the
streaks up or down and out of the picture.
Press and hold both tracking buttons to
reset tracking to preset center. Tracking
is automatically reset whenever a
cassette is inserted.
The TRACKING buttons only affect tape
playback. They have no effect during
recording.
Playback Features
Stop-Action Pause
During playback, you can stop the action,
and view one frame of the tape.
• Press PAUSE/STILL.
• Press PAUSE/STILL again (or PLAY)
to return to normal playback.
Visual Search
During playback, you can visually search
the tape.
• During playback, press F.FWD or
REW to visually search the tape in
forward or reverse.
• To return to normal playback press
the button again (or press PLAY).
Caution: Pause is designed for
momentary interruptions and
should not be used for an
extended period of time. If the
camcorder remains in the pause
mode for more than five minutes,
it will automatically move the
tape away from the spinning
heads to prevent excessive tape
wear.
