Special Features for Sound Recording

The different audio tracks of your recorder
Your recorder offers two methods of recording and playing
back the audio track.
The HiFi, or helical track, system. This can be used for stereo
and two-channel recordings.
The mono, or longitudinal track, system. This can be used for
playback with standard VHS recorders and for dubbing.
When you start the recording, the sound is recorded on
both audio tracks.
Two-Channel broadcasts
Both sound channels are always recorded on the helical track.
Sound channel 1 is recorded on the longitudinal track.
When recording a two-channel broadcast, the recorder auto-
matically switches to sound channel 1.
If you press the button before you begin to record you
can select the sound channel and check it on the TV.

Parallel sound recording
When you make a recording, you can also record the sound
from an external sound source, for example from a concert

The radio audio signal is recorded on the HiFi (helical) track,
and the mono track is used for recording the television audio
track.

Use a standard cinch cable to connect the external sound
