How sound is recorded on a video tape
The VCR records sound onto two separate tracks. Hi-fi audio is recorded onto the
main track along with the picture. Monaural sound is recorded onto the normal audio
track along the edge of the tape.
Notes
To listen to playback sounds in stereo, you must use the PERITEL or SORTIE AUDIO
connections.
When you play a tape recorded in monaural, the sound is heard in monaural regardless of the
CHOIX SON setting.
If the CHOIX SON button does not function, check that MIX AUDIO in the OPTIONS-1
menu is set to NON (see page 78).
If SON HIFI is set to STANDARD, the standard sound will be recorded on both the hi-fi and
normal audio tracks. Pressing CHOIX SON will not change the sound.
