This model Beta is optimized to produce the best features at the speed indicated. This only applies to the specials such as freeze-frame, frame-by-frame stepping, slow-motion (Step-motion), or scanning (cue and review). Using these features with recordings made in a speed other than the one indicated may produce a picture that will be unclear, and some features might be unavailable. The appearance of noise lines, instability, or a ragged picture in the other speeds does not indicate a VCR malfunction. Consult the features list for more information. For optimal special effect performance, play back recordings made at the speed indicated. ©Misterßetamax go to homepage
