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. 71)
Playback
The unit assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate
playback.
●
The unit 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 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 unit as the player for
editing, set B.E.S.T. to your preference. (

pg. 71)
●
“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 unit assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate
recording.
DURING B.E.S.T.
●
The unit 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. (
੬
pg. 37)
●
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 unit’s
7
button while “bESt” is displayed does not
start Instant Timer Recording. (
੬
pg. 29)
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 unit is
pressed. To make sure you record the desired scene or
programme in its entirety, first perform the following steps:
A
Press and hold
9
and press
7
to engage the Record Pause
mode.
●
The unit then automatically checks the condition of the
tape and, after approximately 7 seconds, re-enters Record
Pause mode.
B
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 “OFF”. (
