cast is received, the word STE-
REO will appear on the screen
and the program can be viewed

ing of MTS STEREO TV broadcasts.
When playing back a tape that is not recorded in Hi-Fi stereo
mode, the audio will automatically be monaural.
When listening to a VHS Hi-Fi video tape or MTS broadcast
through the VHF/UHF jack (Audio/Video cord not connected),
the sound will be monaural.
Stereo recording and playback
NOTE:
When using a CABLE system, stereo TV programs may be
transmitted over a mono cable channel. In this case the word
“STEREO” will not appear and the sound will be in mono.
When viewing an MTS STEREO TV program, or playing a
prerecorded VHS Hi-Fi STEREO videotape, press AUDIO
SELECT to select how the audio will be heard through the
speakers. Normally set to the Hi-Fi STEREO position, this
button can be set to the MONO position if the stereo
broadcast or videotape audio is of poor quality. The “R” and
“L” positions allow the audio from the Right or Left Hi-Fi
channel to be heard over both TV speakers. This button has
no effect when viewing a MONO videotape or TV program.
Each time when you press the button, output selection
display appears on the screen for several seconds. Refer to
the chart below.
