Don- If I remember what the salesman told me a couple of years ago when I bought my Beta, Beta doesn't _have_ to use with multiple heads because of the way the tape is wrapped around the read/write "head". Since more tape is in contact with the head, it has more time to cram a better signal onto the tape. Beta (I think) is similar to U-Matic, 8mm, and DAT in this regard. BTW, my deck has a Beta I mode also. The difference between this and HQ-VHS or S-VHS is very apparent – especially with a digital TV. (One of these days I'll upgrade to ED-Beta – which has a picture comparable to 1" commercial video!!!) Just jumping in… Douglas Toth
