Wide-screen pictures

You can record and play wide-screen pictures with this video recorder. This ‘16:9 set’ feature
(see below) only works if your television has a wide-screen feature and is connected to the
video recorder with a scart cable. The ratio 16:9 is the ratio of the width to the height of a
wide-screen picture.

When the video recorder is playing a hi-fi recording you can press the A.SEL button to change
the sound track. The following messages on the screen tell you what sound track you have
selected.

hi-fi L+R : 

normal stereo                    

hi-fi LEFT: 

the left channel comes from both the left and right speakers 

hi-fi RIGHT: 

the right channel comes from both the left and right speakers

hi-fi OFF: 

lower quality mono sound track 

If the recording is not hi-fi you cannot change the sound track, there is no on-screen message,
and the video recorder can only play mono sound.
You need to select ‘hi-fi L+R’ to get proper surround-sound effects from a surround-sound
effect amplifier.
