Recording Hi-Fi Stereo Sound

Your VCR records AUDIO signals on two types of audio tracks.
Hi-Fi:
Using specialized rotary heads, audio signals are recorded on the video track in FM format.
Multi-sound broadcasts (Stereo or SAP [Separate Audio Program]) are recorded on two channels.
Linear:
All audio signals are recorded in mono on the linear audio track.
• Video cassettes recorded on a non-Hi-Fi VCR can also be played back. However, if the audio signals are recorded on two
linear channels, stereo programs will be played back in monaural and SAP (Separate Audio Program) will be played back
with both the MAIN and SAP audio mixed together.
• Video cassettes recorded on this VCR can be played back on a non-Hi-Fi VCR. However, only the linear track will be played
back.

Recording MTS (Multi-channel TV Sound) Broadcasts

Your VCR can record stereo or SAP (Separate Audio
Program) broadcasts, where available.
If the broadcast is in stereo, the VCR automatically
records the stereo sound in dynamic Hi-Fi. If the broad-
cast is in SAP, you can record both the MAIN and the
SAP sound by using the SET UP–selection screen to set
the SAP mode to ON. If the broadcast is in stereo/SAP,
you can record either the SAP sound by using the SET
UP–selection screen to set the SAP mode to ON, or stereo
sound by setting the SAP mode to OFF. (See Mode
Selection.)
