Congratulations on getting the machine up and running,
 
Auto tracking in an AVR 2 puts a little oscillation in the tracking so  
that it can find the peak of RF.  It is a very slow and small amount.   I never 
found it to really work that great.  There really is not that much  of a 
need for it unless the operator does not know how to turn the tracking  knob.  
So you will probably find that manual tracking is the easier mode to  use.
 
Suggestion for the banding is to check the DG controls.  This will  reduce 
the residual banding to almost zero if the tape is close to being  recorded 
correctly.
 
The way we found to do it is to put the scope in 2 V and then use the  
chroma or DG mode.  If you note on an EE signal there is a line that is  where 
the yellow and blue bars chroma matches.  The DG controls are set in  
playback to get a single line here.  It does wonders and will give several  more 
generations quality.
 
Set the chroma level to the same as peak white in the 2 V mode and recheck  
DG if you had to do a big adjustment.
