Advanced Operations (Stereo System)

Integrating Your Stereo System

There are several reasons to consider hooking up your stereo system with your TV and VCR.
If your TV does not have stereo, you can get stereo quality from your VCR by hooking it to your stereo
receiver.
Even if your TV does have stereo, you can get better sound by taking advantage of your stereo's better
speakers.
You can record stereo audio on your VCR for longer play times, or use the VCR as an extra tape deck for
dubbing.

Hookup

Stereo System Hookup
To make this hookup, you need to be familiar with the options on your stereo system. Look at the back of your
receiver. Probably you have AUDIO IN and OUT jacks for a second tape deck - labeled Tape 1 and 2, or AUX 1
and 2. Consult your stereo owner's manual for further information.
You will need two audio cables - the kind with two color-coded plugs on each end (for left and right audio
channels). With the power off:
Connect the right (red) and left (white) AUDIO OUT on the VCR to the right and left AUDIO IN on the stereo
system.
Connect the left and right AUDIO OUT on the stereo to the right and left AUDIO IN on the VCR.
The AUDIO IN (left) on the front of the VCR handles the left-channel or monaural sound. If you connect an
audio source only to AUDIO IN (left), both left and right hi-fi tracks will record an audio signal as monaural.

Recording from Your Stereo System

With the hookup just shown, you can use your VCR to record a custom program of selections from your stereo
library. The videotape recording will give you excellent stereo quality and a long-running tape. In this case no
video will be recorded, so you can do the whole thing without turning on the TV.
Assemble the selections you want to record on the stereo, and insert a blank VHS cassette into the VCR. Be
sure that HIFI is selected in the VCR SETUP screen (See page 23).
