Depending on the type of television broadcast and sound selected,
received and recorded sound is as follows:
§1Select “Mono” if reception is poor during a stereo broadcast.§2If recorded in this mode, main audio is also recorded. Consequently
it is possible to choose between MAIN and SAP when playing back.
[Note]
≥If you alter the sound setting during recording, the sound will be
altered in the recording itself also.
≥It will not be possible to alter the sound by pressing [AUDIO] in the
following cases:
- When the DVD drive is selected and a DVD-R is in the disc tray.
- When recording mode is XP and LPCM has been selected in
the SETUP menu, Audio Mode for XP Recording (➜page 61).

You cannot change audio type while recording with DVD-R or record-
ing on DVD-RAM with LPCM sound. You can use the SETUP menus
to select which audio type of an SAP broadcast is recorded, either
“Main” or “SAP” (
➜page 61, Audio—Select MTS for DVD-R or LPCM).≥When recording through the DV input terminal, the unit records the
audio data as is from the tape, irrespective of the type you select
with [AUDIO] (➜page 61, “Select Audio CH for DV input”).
