Descriptionsof audio and video functions
Below are descriptions
of the audio and video functions,
their
uses
and their
settings.
To select these functions
and adjust
their
settings,
refer to the section "Selecting
and adjusting
the audio
and video functions."
(See page 30.)
audiomonitor(Listento:)
The monitor
function
allows you to listen
to the various
audio
tracks
that your VCR is capable
of recording.
You can choose to
listen
to a MONO track,
both channels
of the STEREO
track,
or
either
of the channels
(left (L) and right (R)) of the stereo
track.
• Choose L to listen to the left channel
of a stereo track.
• Choose R to listen
to the right channel
of the stereo track.
• Choose STEREO
to listen
to both stereo
channels.
• The MONO track is lower in quality
than
the others,
and
the 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 an S.A.P. signal
recorded
on the mono track of a Hi-Fi tape (see below).
_Important:
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.
If you are receiving
a stereo
signal, the word STEREO
will
display
on TV screen for 4 seconds. If you are receiving
a S.A.P.
broadcast,
the word SAP will display
on TV screen for 4 seconds.
normal r ecordingRecord:)
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 is able to receive Sepa-
rate Audio Program
broadcasts,
also known
as an S.A.P. broad-
cast. An S.A.P. broadcast
is an alternative
audio soundtrack
for a
program;
it is often a soundtrack
in another
language.
You can use the normal
recording
function
to record the S.A.P.
broadcast
on the mono track by choosing
"Stereo
+ SAP".
Other-
wise, choose "Stereo".
In either
case, the main program
is
recorded
on the stereo Hi-Fi track.
Also, if there is no S.A.P.
broadcast,
the VCR will record the main program
on the mono
track.
Be careful
if you choose S.A.P. If you play your tapes on a non-
Hi-Fi VCR, you only hear the mono track.
