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. 37).
Playback
The recorder assesses the quality of the tape once you
initiate playback.
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" appears
blinking on the recorder's 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 recorder as the player for
editing, set B.E.S.T. to your preference (
"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 recorder assesses the quality of the tape once you
initiate recording.
