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 play a tape in stereo, you must use the A/V
connections.
When you play a tape recorded in monaural, the sound
is heard in monaural regardless of the AUDIO setting.
