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

NOTE:
When watching a rental tape, or one recorded on another video
recorder, set B.E.S.T. to your preference by performing steps 2
through 4 on page 16.
The B.E.S.T. system works for SP, LP and 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
RECORD and PLAY on the remote are pressed, or RECORD
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 PAUSE and RECORD 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 PLAY 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" in step
3 on page 16.
START PLAYBACK
Press PLAY.
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.
