Recording stereo and bilingual programs
When you receive a program broadcast in stereo, press AUDIO to display “Hi-Fi” on the TV
screen. You can also select “Left,” “Right,” or “Mono.” If there is noise in the stereo program,
select “Mono.” The sound will be recorded in monaural (on both hi-fi and normal audio tracks)
but with less noise.
Press AUDIO to display “SAP” on the TV screen. When a SAP (Second Audio Program) is
received, “SAP” appears on the TV screen. When “MAIN” is selected, the VCR records only
the main sound.
During playback, press AUDIO to select the sound you want.
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.
