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

ATTENTION:

Since the B.E.S.T. system works before recording actually
starts, there is a delay of approximately 7 seconds after
q
and
4
on the remote are pressed, or
q
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
6
and
q
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
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 “A.” in step 4
on page 36.
Playback
The recorder assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate
playback. 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.
START PLAYBACK

Press 4($).
●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”

NOTES:
●
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 2
through 5 on page 36.
●
"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.
