NOTES:
• When playing back a video tape
or disc that is not recorded in Hi-Fi
stereo mode, the audio will auto-
matically be monaural.
• When listening to a Hi-Fi video
tape, disc or MTS broadcast
through the RF OUT (UHF/VHF)
jack (Audio/Video cord not con-
nected), the sound will be monau-
ral.
When a MTS STEREO broadcast is re-
ceived, the word “STEREO” will appear on
the screen and the program can be viewed
or recorded in stereo.
The Hi-Fi STEREO recording procedure is
the same as for normal recordings.
NOTE:
When using a Cable TV system, stereo TV programs may be transmit-
ted over a mono cable channel. In this case the word “STEREO” will
not appear and the sound will be in mono.
Output selection
When viewing an MTS STEREO TV program, or playing a prerecorded
Hi-Fi STEREO on video tape, press AUDIO SELECT to select how the
audio will be heard through the speakers. Normally set to the Hi-Fi
STEREO position, this button can be set to the MONO position if the
stereo audio is of poor quality. The “R” and “L” positions allow the au-
dio from the Right or Left Hi-Fi channel to be heard over both TV speak-
ers. This button has no effect when viewing a monaural audio pro-
gram. Each time when you press the button, output selection display
appears on the screen for several seconds. Refer to the chart below.
Output selection for DVD
You can switch between the left or right channel and stereo only
when playing a disc on which a bilingual broadcast was recorded in
the DVD-RW VR mode. It is not possible to switch between channels
otherwise as only the channel selected in the setting of SAP (Second
Audio Program; ON or OFF) is recorded in the DVD-RW Video mode
or DVD-R (see page 32).
NOTE:
When a stereo or monaural broadcast is recorded, either stereo or
monaural, respectively, is played back and it is not possible to switch
between channels.
