What is Beta hi-fi PAL recording?
In conventional
recording,
audio signals are recorded
on the audio track and the video signals on the video
track. On Beta hi-fi recording, audio signals are record-
ed on the video track together with the video signals.
In this recorder's Beta hi-fi PAL system, audio signals
are recorded first, using the 2 audio heads, then video
signals are recorded over the audio signals with an azi-
muth offset, using the 2 video heads.
Beta hi-fi audio signals are frequency-modulated
and
recorded on 2 channels, so you can record a stereo or bi-
lingual programme with sound clearly superior to that of
a conventiona! audio recording.

Beta hi-fi recording on this recorder
This recorder simultaneously records audio sqnals on
the video track (Beta hi-fi recording) and on the conven-
tional audio track (in monaural), so that tapes recorded
with this recorder can be played back on an ordinary
video cassette recorder without a Beta hi-fi system.
