Stereo Recording and Playback / Separate Audio Program (SAP)
When a MTS STEREO broadcast is
received, the word STEREO will appear
on the screen and the program can be
viewed or recorded in stereo.
The Hi-Fi STEREO recording procedure
is the same as for normal recordings.
The VHS Hi-Fi audio system permits high
fidelity recording of MTS STEREO TV
broadcasts.
NOTES:
• When playing back a tape that is not
recorded in Hi-Fi stereo mode, the
audio will automatically be monaural.
• When listening to a VHS Hi-Fi video
tape or MTS broadcast through the
VHF/UHF jack (Audio/Video cord not
connected), the sound will be
monaural.

NOTES:
When using a CATV system, stereo TV programs may be transmitted
over a mono cable channel. In this case the word "STEREO" will not
appear and the sound will be in mono.
When viewing an MTS STEREO TV program, or playing a prerecorded
VHS Hi-Fi STEREO videotape, press A. MONITOR to select how the
audio will be heard through the speakers. Normally set to the Hi-Fi
STEREO position, this button can be set to the MONO position if the
stereo broadcast or videotape audio is of poor quality. The "R" and "L"
positions allow the audio from the Right or Left Hi-Fi channel to be heard
over both TV speakers. This button has no effect when viewing a MONO
videotape or TV program. Each time when you press the button, OUTPUT
SELECTION display appears on the screen for several seconds. Refer
to the chart below.
