Stereo recording and playback
The VHS Hi-Fi audio system permits high fidelity
recording of MTS STEREO TV broadcasts.
Note
When playing back a video tape or disc that is not
recorded in Hi-Fi stereo mode, the audio will
automatically be monaural.
When listening to a Hi-Fi video tape, disc or MTS
broadcast through the RF OUT (UHF/VHF) jack
(Audio/Video cord not connected), the sound will
be monaural.
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.
Note
When using a Cable TV system, stereo TV programs
may be transmitted over a mono Cable TV 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 Hi-Fi STEREO on video tape, press AUDIO
SELECT 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 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 monaural audio program. Each
time when you press the button, output selection
display appears on the screen for several seconds. Refer

You can switch between the left or right channel and
stereo only when playing a disc on which a bilingual
broadcast was recorded in the DVD-RW VR mode. It is
not possible to switch between channels otherwise as
only the channel selected in the setting of SAP (Second
Audio Program; ON or OFF) is recorded in the DVD-RW
Video mode or DVD-R (see page 31).
Note
When a stereo or monaural broadcast is recorded,
either stereo or monaural, respectively, is played
back and it is not possible to switch between
channels.
