Records sound of the left channel only in stereo.
On (Mode II):
Records sound of the right channel only in stereo.
Notes
• When you select the manual rate of the picture quality
between 3.0 and 3.8 and set this mode to "On (Mode I)" or
"On (Mode II)", the picture quality may become lower than
when you set this mode to "Off".
• You can change the setting from the Quick Menu.
• It is no use to make this selection when dubbing. Select
