1
Press and hold REC and
press PLAY on the remote
control, or press REC on
the VCR's front panel.
●The VCR takes about 7
seconds to assess the
quality of the tape in
use, then recording
begins with the picture
level optimized.
NOTES:
●
B.E.S.T. occurs immedi-
ately prior to both the
first SP and the first EP
recording after inserting
the cassette. It does not
take place during
recording.
●
In the case of timer
recording, B.E.S.T. takes place for both SP and EP
before the first timer recording after inserting the
cassette (regardless of the tape speed selected for that
recording).
●
Once the cassette is ejected, the B.E.S.T. data is
canceled. The next time the cassette is used for
recording, B.E.S.T. is re-performed.
●
While B.E.S.T. is operative, the PAUSE button will not
function.
●
SUPERIMPOSE must be set to "ON" or the B.E.S.T.
Picture System screen will not appear (

pg. 15).

ATTENTION:
nAs B.E.S.T. takes place before recording actually starts,
there is a delay of about 7 seconds after REC and PLAY on
the remote, or REC on the VCR's front panel, are pressed.
To make sure you record the desired scene or program
completely, first perform the following steps:
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, re-enters RECORD
PAUSE.
2) Press PLAY to start recording.
nIf you want to bypass B.E.S.T. and start recording right
away, set "RECORDING" to "OFF" in step 4 of the
Preparation procedure (Z pg. 20).
