Stereo recording and playback / Second Audio Program (SAP)
Stereo recording and
playback
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.
When an 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.
NOTE:
When using a CABLE TV system, stereo TV programs may be
transmitted over a mono cable channel. In this case the word
"STEREO" will not appear and the sound will be in mono.
Output selection
When viewing an MTS STEREO TV program, or playing a prere-
corded VHS Hi-Fi STEREO video tape, press AUDIO SELECT 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 "R" and "L" positions 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 video tape 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.
