Since good tracking depends on the exact distance between the rotating drum and the fixed control/audio head reading the linear tracks, most VCRs offer tracking adjustment, either manual or automatic, to correct such mismatches. Tegoshi's life isn't a fork in the road- there is only one path he can take, and it is the one he is pushed down.

Another linear control track, at the tape's lower edge, holds pulses that mark the beginning of every frame of video; these are used to fine-tune the tape speed during playback and to get the rotating heads exactly on their helical tracks. With every adjustment, things get more and more off-track.
