Sounds like you got an ordinary Beta tape rather than a Beta HiFi tape.
They definitely exist - I watched Blade Runner on a friends Beta HiFi VCR
and the tape was definitely not HiFi.  Since it wasn't labelled as such
by the rental place, there was nothing to complain about.
(Beta HiFi tapes have the ordinary audio tracks recorded too, for
compatibility.)
