The B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalized Signal Tracking) system
checks the condition of the tape in use during recording and
playback, and compensates to provide the highest-possible
recording and playback pictures. The default setting for both
recording and playback is “ON”.

L The recorder power comes on automatically.

Notes:
The B.E.S.T. system works for SP, LP (or EP) 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

video recorder, set B.E.S.T. to your preference by performing
steps 2 through 4.

is operative.
