B. E. S. T . picture system
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''.
