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 does not function, check that MIX AUDIO in the OPTIONS-1
menu is set to OFF (see page 90).
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.
