Stereo recording and playback / Second Audio Program (SAP)
When a MTS STEREO broadcast is
received, 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.
The VHS Hi-Fi audio system permits high fidelity recording of MTS
STEREO TV broadcasts.
NOTES:
When playing back a tape that is not
recorded in Hi-Fi stereo mode, the
audio will automatically be monaural.
When listening to a VHS Hi-Fi video
tape or MTS broadcast through the
VHF/UHF jack (Audio/Video cord not
connected), the sound will be
monaural.
Stereo recording and playback
NOTE:When using a CATV system, stereo TV programs may be transmitted
over a mono cable channel. In this case the word ÒSTEREOÓ will not
appear and the sound will be in mono.
When viewing an MTS STEREO TV program, or playing a prerecorded
VHS Hi-Fi STEREO videotape, press AUDIO 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
broadcast or videotape audio is of poor quality. The ÒRÓ and ÒLÓ posi-
tions allow the audio from the Right or Left Hi-Fi channel to be heard
over both TV speakers. This button has no effect when viewing a
MONO videotape or TV program. Each time when you press the button,
OUTPUT SELECTION display appears on the screen for several
seconds. Refer to the chart below.
