This Betamax has an LED that indicates that it has been placed in the editing mode. In this setting, the dropout circuit is disabled, and the VCR is not compensating for the minor imperfections that are common with all videotape recordings. The content is unaltered by the electronics and better suited for making direct transfers to another VCR. There can also be a circuit that controls a second VCR.
