normalrecording (NormalREC)
When your VCR is recording,
it actually
records
the audio port:ion
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 SAP broadcast.
An SAP broadcast
is an alternative
audio soundt_mck
for your
program;
it is often a version
in another
language.
You can use the normal
recording
function
to tell the VCR ifyc, u
would like to record the SAP broadcast
on the mono track. If so,
choose SAP. Otherwise,
choose L+R. In either
case, the main
program
is recorded
on the stereo Hi-Fi track. Also, if there is no
SAP broadcast,
the VCR will record the main program
on t:he
mono track.
Be careful
if you choose SAP. If you play your tapes back on a
non-Hi-Fi
VCR, you will be able to hear only tlhe mono track. You
may be forced to watch your favorite
show in a language
you don't
understand?
video mute (Video mute)
With video mute ON, any blank section
of tape or any station
with a weak signal is replaced
by a blue screen.
The sound is also
turned
off. If there is a time where you would like to try tuning
in
a weak station,
you can turn
the video mute OFF.
record speed (RECspeed)
The speed at which you record has an effect on picture
quality.
SP
will produce
the best picture
quality
and can record up to two
hours of video on a T-120 tape. Mitsabishi's
EP speed has only
slightly
poorer
quality,
but records
up to six: hours on a T-120.
Your VCR can only record in SP or EP speed, but can play back
tapes recorded
in SP, LP or EP.
