Your VCR can play recordings broadcast in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear sound
from two sources. Your VCR also can play tapes recorded in a second audio (usually, that means your
program is recorded in a second language). Of course, your VCR will play tapes recorded in monaural
(single-source) sound as well.
Your VCR also will record in Hi-Fi stereo or in second audio, so when you play back that tape on the
VCR, it will be in stereo or second audio. If you play back the tape on a VCR that can’t play back tapes in
stereo or second audio, the VCR will automatically play the tape in monaural sound.
Read the directions on this page to familiarize yourself with your VCR’s stereo and second audio setups.
Then follow the directions on page 45 to record in stereo or second audio and the directions on pages 46-
47 to play back tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.
Understanding On-Screen Displays
When you receive a signal from a channel you’re watching, portions of the on-screen display shown below
will appear when you press the STATUS/EXIT button on the remote control.
Specifically…
When a program broadcast in stereo is available, STEREO appears here.
When a program broadcast in second audio is available, 2ND AUD
appears here.
When a program is available both in stereo and second audio, both
STEREO and 2ND AUD appear here. Even though a program is avail-
able in stereo or second audio, you still must program the VCR to
receive or record the program. Follow the directions on page 45.
NOTE: Although a program may be broadcast in both stereo and second
audio, you cannot record in both stereo and second audio at the same time.
The indication 2ND AUD or TV
STEREO that appears on this side of
the status display tells you if your
VCR is programmed to receive a sec-
ond audio or stereo broadcast (it can-
not be programmed to receive both
at the same time).
The indication 2ND AUD or STEREO
that appears on this side of the status
display tells you if the program you’re
watching is available in second audio
or stereo.
This indication is not available during
tape playback.
