onto the main track along with the picture. Monaural sound is recorded
onto the normal audio track along the edge of the tape.

Notes
• (SLV-K867CH/PS only)
The VCR can record stereo and bilingual programmes only through the line input.
When stereo or bilingual sound is input through the LINE IN jacks, the STEREO
indicator lights up. You cannot select the sound to listen while recording.
• To play a tape in stereo, you must use the 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
SET UP MENU is set to OFF.
• (SLV-K877MN only)
If HIFI AUDIO is set to STD, the standard sound will be recorded on both the hi-fi
and normal audio tracks. Pressing AUDIO MONITOR will not change the sound.
