Multi-Channel Television Sound System (Vr601Bmg Only) - Magnavox VR601BMG Owner's Manual

38 Multi-Channel Television Sound System (VR601BMG only)

Your VCR can play recordings broadcast in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear sound
from two sources. Your VCR also can play tapes recorded in a second audio (usually, that means your
program is recorded in a second language). Of course, your VCR will play tapes recorded in monaural
(single-source) sound as well.
Your VCR also will record in Hi-Fi stereo or in second audio, so when you play back that tape on the
VCR, it will be in stereo or second audio.
Read the directions on this page to familiarize yourself with your VCR's stereo and second audio setups.
Then follow the directions on page 39 to record in stereo or second audio and the directions on page 40
to play back tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.
Understanding On-Screen Displays
When you receive a signal from a channel you're watching, portions of the on-screen display shown below
will appear when you press the STATUS/EXIT button on the remote control.
The indication 2ND AUD or TV
STEREO that appears on this side of
the status display tells you if your
VCR is programmed to receive a sec-
ond audio or stereo broadcast (it can-
not be programmed to receive both
at the same time).

receive or record the program. Follow the directions on page 39.
NOTE: Although a program may be broadcast in both stereo and second
audio, you cannot record in both stereo and second audio at the same time.
