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.
Channel Caption (Station Identifier)
When your VCR is receiving a channel caption signal that is being transmitted by a local
broadcasting station together with a TV program, a station identifier is displayed on the TV
screen.
