Hitachi VT-F382A VCR User Manual


 
Getting Started (Initial SetuP)
station that broadcasts stereo sound. When a TV channel broadcasts in
stereo, you'll see a stereo indicator on the TV screen.
STEREO is the normal factory setting because it works for both stereo
and mono broadcasts. It is also necessary for recording a second audio
program (SAP).
When you select MONO, sound is recorded as mono even when a
channel broadcasts in stereo.
Use the MONO setting when the stereo signal is not strong enough for
quality reception (for example, when there is signal drift or noise).
Hi-Fi Sound
Hi-Fi sound is the same quality as that of a compact disc player. Its
dynamic range of over 90dB will record either stereo or monaural
broadcasts with the highest quality possible. Linear sound, on the other
hand, will record monaural sound using the same format as a non hi-fi
VCR. Stereo programs are recorded in hi-fi on both the left and right
channels and also recorded on the linear track as monaural.
