Your VCR’s audio setup features affect both tape playback and recordings. The
features in this section are accessed through the AUDIO menu.
To Display the Audio Menu:

2. Press 7 to choose AUDIO.
With the AUDIO menu displayed, you are ready to select an item from the
menu to set up.
Reception
Some TV programs are broadcast with stereo audio or a Second Audio Program
(SAP) which offers a second language. The Reception feature lets you select the
type of audio you want to record. Press 1 repeatedly to switch between
Reception: STEREO, MONO, or SAP.
• STEREO– used for normal or stereo broadcast TV recording. The HI-FI
indicator lights on the VCR front panel when the VCR’s tuned station is
broadcasting in stereo.
• MONO– used if the stereo signal is weak or the sound is too noisy.
• SAP– used to hear/record a Second Audio Program instead of the normal
audio on both the Hi-Fi and linear tracks.
Tape Playback
The VCR records the same audio on both the Hi-Fi stereo and linear tracks on
the tape. Hi-Fi sound is recorded on separate left and right stereo channels.
Monaural sound is recorded on the linear track. In the AUDIO menu, press the
2 button repeatedly to switch between Tape Playback: Hi-Fi, LINEAR, and MIX.
To enjoy Hi-Fi sound, connect your VCR to a stereo television or amplifier/
receiver using the audio jacks. The Tape Playback feature lets you select which
audio you play back.
• Hi-Fi Used to play back sound recorded on the Hi-Fi tracks and for
normal use.
• LINEAR Used to play back the sound recorded on the linear monaural
track, such as a Second Audio Program, or a dubbed voice-over.
• MIX Used to play back the sound recorded on both the linear track and
the Hi-Fi track, sound-on-sound. The Hi-Fi indicator lights when MIX is
active.
