Counter Reset The real-time counter will reset to 0:00:00 when you insert a cassette. To reset the real-time counter to 0:00:00 at anytime, press the CLEAR button on the remote control. Automatic Tracking Adjustment The VCR continually adjusts tracking to give you the best possible picture quality. With some recordings, however, you may get a better picture by adjusting the tracking manually (see below). Manual Tracking Adjustment • Press the CH(annel) 8/9 buttons to remove jitter in a still picture. • To return to Automatic Tracking Adjustment, press the CH(annel) 8/9 buttons on the VCR at the same time except during still picture mode. • The CH(annel) 8/9 buttons adjust tracking during normal tape playback and slow motion picture. • The VCR returns to Automatic Tracking Adjustment whenever a tape is inserted. Before Tracking Adjustment After Tracking Adjustment 52 Glossary AUDIO IN/OUT Jacks: jacks located on the front and back of the VCR which are used to record audio from another source (IN) or to send audio to another source (OUT). The VRA451 has single AUDIO IN/OUT Jacks on the front and back of the VCR. The VRA651 has Right and Left AUDIO IN/OUT Jacks on the front and back of the VCR. Automatic Channel Programming: process in which the VCR scans all available channels and places the ones you receive in its memory. Then, when you press the CH(annel) 8/9 button, you only scan through channels you receive. Bands: settings that allow you to tune channels. • Antenna – VHF (very high frequency; channels 2 - 13) and UHF (ultra high frequency; channels 14 - 69). • Cable – standard channels can be received without a Cable Box. Cable Box/DBS Output Channel: channel 03 or 04. DBS: Direct Broadcast System. Dubbing: copying a tape using a second VCR. Frame: a single still picture. HQ: high quality; a feature in the VCR circuitry which provides enhanced picture detail. OTR: one-touch recording; a timed recording that starts immediately and records for 30 minutes to six hours, whichever you specify. Remote Control: the small electronic unit that came with your VCR; allows you to operate your VCR from a distance. The remote control also may operate some features of your TV, Cable Box, or DBS. RF coaxial cable: the cable supplied with your VCR. Use it to connect your VCR to your TV (or Cable Box/DBS, if applicable). The supplied cable is a snap-on type. However, you also may use a screw-on type if you prefer. Special Effects: forward and reverse searching; viewing a still picture; or viewing a slow motion picture. Tape Speeds: how fast the tape travels during a recording or playback. • LP (long play) – average tape speed (playback time for a T120 tape is approximately four hours); available for playback only. Although the VCR will play tapes recorded in LP, LP will not appear on the display panel or in the on-screen status display. • SLP (super long play) – slowest tape speed (recording/playback time for a T120 tape is approximately six hours). • SP (standard play) – fastest tape speed (recording/playback time for a T120 tape is approximately two hours); best picture quality.
