Are your unsatisfactory recordings using Beta hifi only as bad as the signal
from the cable? If so, the problem is obviously with the signal source as
you suggest. However, if the recording is mysteriously degraded look to the
possibility that leakage of high-frequency interference (most probably the
stereo pilot carrier from the FM multiplex decoder) is fooling the (little-
publicized) compandor used in so-called hi fi video recording schemes.
