Recording stereo programs
This VCR automatically receives and records stereo programs. When a
stereo program is received, the STEREO indicator lights up. If there is noise
in the stereo program, set AUTO STEREO in the ADVANCED OPTIONS
menu to OFF. The sound will be recorded in monaural (on both hi-fi and
normal audio tracks) but with less noise. For details, see page 32.
Recording bilingual programs

sound, set TUNER AUDIO in the ADVANCED OPTIONS menu to SAP. For
details, see page 33.
