B.E.S.T. — ON / OFF

When B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking) system is set to “ON”, the recorder checks the condition of the tape in use during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the highest-possible pictures. When B.E.S.T. works, “bESt” appears blinking on the display panel. B.E.S.T. takes place whenever you play back a tape or start recording after inserting a cassette.

NOTE:

The recorder checks the tape condition for about 7 seconds, then starts recording. To make sure you record the desired scene or programme completely, perform the following steps:

APress and hold 7 and press 4 on the remote, or press 7 on the recorder.

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

EDIT: Select when you dub tapes.
