Picture noise
• Noise means the picture from the player is poor, with grain
and streaks. The picture may jump about or roll up or down.

or [TRACKING +] button for a few seconds to see which one
improves the picture.
• Adjustment may not improve picture quality if the tape is
damaged or it is a bad recording.
• If some noise remains after adjusting it, VCR heads may be
contaminated or worn.
• In case VCR heads are contaminated, please see 'How to
clean the video header below.
Auto-detect the contamination of VCR heads
