Tracking Control System; Automatic; Manual; Blue Screen Noise Elimination - Sharp DV-NC55U Operation Manual

Tracking Control System

Automatic

This function automatically adjusts the tracking to match the
recorded tape. Auto tracking engages in the following cases:
• When you insert the cassette and begin playback.
• When you press CH (TRACKING) ' / " on the Unit at the same
time.
• When the VCR has been playing back an unrecorded
section of tape, and then reaches a recorded tape segment.
When auto tracking engages, "PLAY" on the TV screen flashes for a
few seconds.
Poor Tracking

Manual

When a poorly recorded tape is played back or the Unit is near an
electrical or magnetic field, auto tracking may not operate normally.
In this event, manually adjust the tracking with CH (TRACKING)
' / " to make any noise disappear.

Blue Screen Noise Elimination

Set the BLUE SCREEN mode to ON on the SET UP-selection screen.
(See Mode Selection on page 31.) This function eliminates monitor
noise and mutes sound during playback of unrecorded portions of a
tape, and when receiving a non-broadcasting channel. Blue Screen
will also appear if the Unit is set to the Auxiliary mode but no video
signal is fed to the Unit. (The BLUE SCREEN mode is set to ON at
the factory.)
• Blue Screen does not function during still picture, variable slow motion
and video search.
• Blue Screen may not function properly if the broadcast signal is too
strong or too weak.
• Blue Screen does not function during playback of a tape with noise
recorded.
• If the antenna signal is weak while recording a TV program, or if the
input signal is weak while tape dubbing, the monitor screen may turn
blue since the unit may not recognize whether or not a proper signal is
being received. In this event, set the BLUE SCREEN mode to OFF.

Automatic Head Cleaning System

When the tape is inserted, or ejected, this system automatically
cleans the drum and heads with a special roller before recording or
playback begins, protecting the heads and drum from dirt and
preserving beautiful sound and picture quality.
