56 Multi-Channel Television Sound System
Your VCR can play recordings broadcast in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear sound
from two sources. Your VCR also can play tapes recorded in a second audio (usually, that means your
program is recorded in a second language). Of course, your VCR will play tapes recorded in monaural
(single-source) sound as well.
Your VCR also will record in Hi-Fi stereo or in second audio, so when you play back that tape on the
VCR, it will be in stereo or second audio.
Read the directions on this page to familiarize yourself with your VCR's stereo and second audio setups.
Then follow the directions on page 57 to record in stereo or second audio and the directions on pages
58-59 to play back tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.
Understanding On-Screen Displays
When you receive a signal from a channel you're watching, portions of the on-screen display shown below
will appear when you press the STATUS/EXIT button on the remote control.
The indication 2ND AUD or
TV STEREO that appears on
this side of the status display
tells you if your VCR is pro-
grammed to receive a second
audio or stereo broadcast (it
cannot be programmed to
receive both at the same
time). Follow the steps on
page 57 to program the VCR
to receive a second audio or
stereo broadcast.
To record and play back programs broadcast in stereo, even if you have a Single-Speaker TV, just use one
of the connections shown, then follow the steps on pages 57-59.

VCR to receive or record the pro-
gram. Follow the directions on
