●The B.E.S.T. Picture System screen only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking. Even though the screen doesn't appear after that, the B.E.S.T. function is operative.
●To display the B.E.S.T. Picture System screen, "SUPERIMPOSE" must be set to "ON" or the B.E.S.T. Picture System screen will not appear (☞ pg. 18).

1)Press and hold PAUSE, and press REC to engage the RECORD/PAUSE mode.
●The VCR then automatically checks the condition of the tape and, after about 7 seconds,
