42 MTS Broadcast Stereo System
Your VCR can play recordings broadcast in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear sound
from two sources. Your VCR also can play tapes recorded in a second audio (usually, that means your
program is recorded in a second language). Of course, your VCR will play tapes recorded in monaural
(single-source) sound as well.
Your VCR also will record in Hi-Fi stereo or in second audio, so when you play back that tape on the
VCR, it will be in stereo or second audio.
Read the directions on this page to familiarize yourself with your VCR’s stereo and second audio setups.
Then follow the directions on page 43 to record in stereo or second audio and the directions on page 44
to play back tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.
Understanding On-Screen Displays
When you receive a signal from a channel you’re watching, portions of the on-screen display shown below
will appear when you press the DISPLAY button on the remote control.
The indication SAP or STEREO that appears on the status display tells you if
the program you’re watching is available in second audio or stereo.
Even though a program is available in second audio or stereo, you still must
program the VCR to receive or record the program. Follow the directions on
page 43. This indication is not available during tape playback.
