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 EURO-AV 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 63).
• 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.
