Using Audio and Video Functions
The audio and video function menus allow you to set things such as listening
to the stereo track of your recording, or setting the tape length to have the
remaining time display function work properly. The VCR will display the
functions and settings on your TV screen. The first section describes the
functions, the next section tells you how to adjust the functions.

Descriptions of Audio Functions
Audio monitor (Listen to):
This allows you to listen to the various audio tracks that your VCR is capable of recording.
• Choose Stereo to listen to both stereo channels.
• Choose L to listen to the left channel of a stereo track.
• Choose R to listen to the right channel of a stereo track.
• Mono track is lower in quality than the others. The audio monitor is
automatically set to Mono if you are watching a tape that was not
recorded in VHS Hi-Fi. Set the audio monitor to Mono to hear SAP
signal recorded on the mono track of a Hi-Fi tape.
Surround Sound systems: If you have your VCR connected to a surround
sound system, set the audio monitor to Stereo. Surround sound requires
both left and right channels to create the rear channel effects.
While the VCR is not playing a tape, you will see the following displays on the
TV screen for 3 seconds when you change the channel or press DISPLAY.

Normal recording (Record):
When your VCR is recording, it actually records the audio portion of a program
twice: once on the stereo Hi-Fi tracks, and once on the mono track. Additionally,
your VCR can receive Separate Audio Program (SAP) broadcasts. A SAP broadcast
is an alternative soundtrack for a program; it is often a sound track in another
language. The SAP broadcast is recorded only on the mono track.
Use the normal recording function to record the SAP broadcast on the mono
track by choosing STEREO+SAP. Otherwise, choose Stereo. In either
case, the main program is recorded on the stereo Hi-Fi track. Also, if there is
no SAP broadcast, the VCR will record the main program on the mono track.
