DURING B.E.S.T.

 

 

 

B.E.S.T. COMPLETE

●The recorder spends approximately 7 seconds assessing the condition of the tape, then begins recording.

NOTES:

●The B.E.S.T. system works for both SP and LP modes only after a tape has been inserted and the Record mode is first initiated. It does not work during recording.

●The B.E.S.T. system does not work while Auto Satellite Prog recording is in progress (☞ pg. 26).

●In the case of timer recording, the B.E.S.T. system works before recording is initiated.

●Once the cassette is ejected, the B.E.S.T. data is cancelled. The next time the cassette is used for recording, B.E.S.T. is re- performed.

●Pressing the recorder's RECORD button while "BEST" is displayed does not start Instant Timer Recording (☞ pg. 16).

ATTENTION

Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after RECORD and PLAY on the remote are pressed, or RECORD on the recorder is pressed. To make sure you record the desired scene or programme in its entirety, first perform the following steps:

1)Press and hold PAUSE and press RECORD to engage the RECORD PAUSE mode.

●The recorder then automatically checks the condition of the tape and, after approximately 7 seconds, re- enters RECORD PAUSE.

2)Press PLAY to start recording.

●If you want to bypass the B.E.S.T. system and begin recording immediately, set “B.E.S.T.” to “OFF” in step 4 on page 18.

START PLAYBACK

1 Press PLAY.

●The recorder adjusts the playback picture quality based on the quality of the tape in use.

●B.E.S.T. is active during Auto Tracking. “BEST” appears blinking on the recorder’s display panel.

NOTES:

●When watching a tape recorded with “B.E.S.T.” set to “ON”, it is recommended that you leave B.E.S.T. on during playback as well.

●When watching a rental tape or one recorded on another video recorder, or when using this recorder as the player for editing, set B.E.S.T. to your preference by performing steps 1 through 5 on page 18.

●"BEST" only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking. Even though it doesn't appear after that, the B.E.S.T. function is operative.
