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 display panel.  
B.E.S.T. COMPLETE  
N O TES:  
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 by performing steps 1  
through 5 on page 18.  
"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.  
The recorder spends approximately 7 seconds  
assessing the condition of the tape, then begins  
recording.  
N O TES:  
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.  
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.  
Pressing the recorder's RECORD button while "BEST" is  
displayed does not start Instant Timer Recording  
(pg. 17).  
ATTEN TIO N  
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 press 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 4  
on page 18.

N O TES:  
If you have programmed the recorder to timer-record 2 or  
more programmes, the second programme and those  
thereafter may not fit on the tape if you set "AUTO SPLP  
TIMER" to "ON". In this case, make sure the mode is not  
engaged, then set the tape speed manually during timer  
programming.  
In order to ensure that the recording fits on the tape, this  
feature may leave a slight non-recorded section at the end of  
the tape.  
There may be some noise and sound disturbance at the point  
on the tape where the recorder switches from SP to LP (or EP)  
mode.  
The Auto SPLP Timer feature is not available during ITR  
(Instant Timer Recording), and the feature will not work  
properly with any tapes longer than E-180 or with some tapes  
of shorter lengths.

N O TES:  
When viewing NTSC tapes on a PAL TV set:  
The picture may shrink vertically with black bars appearing at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction on the  
part of the video recorder nor the TV.  
The picture may roll up or down. This can be corrected using the V-HOLD control found on some TVs. (This cannot be corrected if  
the TV does not have a V-HOLD control.)  
During search, still, or frame-by-frame playback, the picture will be distorted, and there may be a loss of colour.  
ATTENTION:  
When this recorder is connected to a multi-system TV, the audio signal may not be heard or may be noisy if the colour system  
select switch of the TV is adjusted to the AUTO position. In such a case, set the TV's colour system select switch to the appropri-  
ate position which corresponds to the TV system you have selected at the TV System Select screen.

Your recorder needs to memorise all necessary stations in  
channel positions in order to record TV programmes. Auto  
Channel Set automatically assigns all receivable stations in your

If no sound accompanies the picture or the audio sounds  
unnatural on some channels that have been stored by  
Auto Channel Set, the TV system setting for those  
channels may be incorrect. Select the appropriate TV  
system for those channels. "TV System Selection –  
When you see the picture but the audio can't be heard or  
sounds unnatural" on page 31.  
Since your video recorder memorizes all detected stations  
even if the reception condition is poor, some of those  
stored stations may produce a noisy picture. To delete  
those stations, "Delete A Channel" on page 30.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
EN  
35  
PLAYBACK  
RECORDING  
Q. What happens if the end of the tape is reached  
during playback or search?  
A. The tape is automatically rewound to the beginning.  
Q. When I pause and then resume a recording, the end  
of the recording before the pause is overlapped by  
the beginning of the continuation of recording. Why  
does this happen?  
A. This is normal. It reduces distortion at the pause and  
resume points.  
Q. Can the video recorder indefinitely remain in the  
still mode?  
A. No. It stops automatically after 5 minutes to protect  
the heads.  
Q. Can the video recorder indefinitely remain in the  
Record-Pause mode?  
A. No. The video recorder goes to its Stop mode auto-  
matically after 5 minutes to protect the heads.  
Q. During search, slow, still and frame-by-frame  
playback, I can't hear any audio. What's the  
problem?  
A. This is normal.  
Q. What happens if the tape runs out during recording?  
A. The video recorder automatically rewinds it to the  
beginning.  
Q. When returning from multi-speed search to normal  
playback, the picture is disturbed. Should I be  
concerned about this?  
TIMER RECORDING  
A. No, it is normal.  
Q. " " and "" remain lit on the display panel. Is there

A. No. This is a normal condition for a timer recording in  
the problem?  
progress.  
A. This is normal.  
Q. Can I program the timer while I'm watching a tape  
or a TV broadcast?  
A. You won't see the picture as it is replaced by the on-  
screen menu, but the audio from the program or tape  
you're viewing can be heard.  
Q. Other than preventing further recording, what effect  
does removing the Record Safety tab have?  
A. It disables marking of index codes.  
Q. Sometimes, during Index Search, the video recorder  
can't find the programme I want to see. Why not?  
A. There may be index codes too close together.  
Q. Is it possible to timer-record a TV programme  
broadcast in 2000?  
A. Yes, it is possible.  
ATTENTION:  
This recorder contains microcomputers. External electronic noise or interference could cause malfunctioning. In such cases,
