the tape and, after about 7 seconds, re-enters RECORDPAUSE.

2) Press PLAY to start recording. If you want to bypass B.E.S.T. and start recording right

away, set “B.E.S.T.” to “OFF” in step 4 of the Preparationprocedure ( pg. 22).

NOTES:● B.E.S.T. occurs immedi-

ately prior to both the first SP and the first LP (or EP) recording after inserting the cassette. It does not take place during recording.

● In the case of timer recording, B.E.S.T. takes place for both SP and LP (or EP) before the first timer recording after inserting the cassette (regardless of the tape speed selected for that recording).

● Once the cassette is ejected, the B.E.S.T. data is canceled. The next time the cassette is used for recording, B.E.S.T. is re-performed.

●

While B.E.S.T. is operative, the PAUSE button will not function.● To display the B.E.S.T. Picture System, “SUPERIM-
