Getting Started (Initial Setup)
Look at each item to see if it matches
your own setup:
To change a setting,
press the button that has the same number as that item.
This will cycle you through
several options.
When everything
is set up as you want, press GUIDE to return to regular
viewing.
Here is what the options mean:
1 AUTO BLUE
Press 1 to control the auto blue function
which makes the
screen blue and mutes sound when you select a channel without a broadcast
signal on the VCR or a channel without a broadcast
signal on the VCR or a
channel
on which broadcasting
has finished.
Options
are <ON> and <OFF>.
If the signal is too strong, this function
may not operate even if you specifiy
<ON>. During playback
this function
does not operate.
4 HIFI/LINEAR
Press 4 to control how the audio signal is processed
by the
VCR. Options
are <HIFI> and <LINEAR>.
5 STEREO/MONO
Press 5 to control how the audio signal is recorded
and sent
to the TV. Options
are <STEREO>
and <MONO>.
6 SAP
Press 6 when you are ready to record a second
audio
program.
Options
are <OFF> and <ON>.
Choosing
a Mode for Audio Playback
Choose
between hi-fi and linear modes, depending
on your needs.
HIFI is the preferred
setting because
it works for all tapes whether they were
recorded
in hi-fi or linear modes.
If the audio sounds distorted
or unusual
or
there is no audio, try the LINEAR
option.
When you set the option to HIFI, hi-fi tapes will play in high fidelity, and non-hi-fi
tapes will play in linear mode.
Stereo vs. Mono Sound
When you select the STEREO
option, your VCR records in stereo any station
that broadcasts
stereo sound.
When a TV channel
broadcasts
in stereo, you'll
see a stereo indicator on the TV screen.
STEREO
is the normal factory setting because
it works for both stereo and mono
broadcasts.
It is also necessary
for recording
a second audio program
(SAP).
When you select MONO, sound is recorded
as mono even when a channel
broadcasts
in stereo.
Use the MONO setting when the stereo signal is not strong enough for quality
reception
(for example,
when there is signal drift or noise).
Hi-Fi Sound
Hi-Fi sound is the same quality as that of a compact
disc player.
Its dynamic
range of over 90dB will record either stereo or monaural
broadcasts
with the
highest quality possible.
Linear sound, on the other hand, will record monaural
