Hi-Fi Stereo Sound System
This unit will record and playback Hi-Fi stereo sound.
In addition it has a NICAM digital stereo sound
decoder. This allows you to record and playback the
sound in several different ways. Video cassettes
recorded on the unit will have a normal mono audio
track and two VHS Hi-Fi stereo audio tracks. These
stereo tracks allow you to make audio recordings in
Hi-Fi stereo or bilingual mode from a TV broadcast,
stereo audio system, video disc or another Hi-Fi
VCR.
