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 Scart or AUDIO OUT connections.
When you play a tape recorded in monaural, the sound is heard in monaural regardless of the
AUDIO MONITOR setting.
If the AUDIO MONITOR button does not function, check that AUDIO MIX in the
OPTIONS-1 menu is set to OFF (see page 72).
If HIFI AUDIO is set to STANDARD, the standard sound will be recorded on both the hi-fi
and normal audio tracks. Pressing AUDIO MONITOR will not change the sound.
