B.E.S.T. Picture System

The B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking) system checks the condition of the tape in use during playback and recording, and compensates to provide the highest-possible playback and recording pictures. You can set “B.E.S.T.” to “ON” or “OFF” to your preference ( pg. 65).

Playback

The recorder assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate playback.

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

●B.E.S.T. is active during automatic tracking. “BEST” appears blinking on the recorder’s front 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 ( pg. 65).

●“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.

Recording

The recorder assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate recording.

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 (or EP) 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 Automatic Satellite Programme Recording is in progress ( pg. 36).

●In the case of timer recordings, 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 7 button while “BEST” is displayed does not start Instant Timer Recording ( pg. 25).

ATTENTION

Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after 7 and 4 on the remote control are pressed, or 7 on the recorder is pressed. To make sure you record the desired scene or programme in its entirety, first perform the following steps:

APress and hold 9 and press 7 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 mode.

BPress 4 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” ( pg. 65).
