OK Mr. Video, the real or substitute, on all of the new superBeta decks
that I have seen there is an "edit" switch which should be placed into
"edit" position on the playback machine when copying tapes from one
machine to another.  My owners manuals say, in the finest pigeon Japaneese,
that normally the video signal is "rectified" but that this switch turns
of this rectification for better copies.

Huh?

When I flip the switch, the change is very subtle, but definite.  Some 
edge peakiness seems to disappear.  Does this "rectification" cause more
video amp ringing?  

Care to share any light on this?
