OTHER FEATURES

To receive Hi-Fi stereo sound, use
audio-video cables with a compatible
TV or receiver. Using only the RF OUT
jack will not produce stereo sound.

Reception

Some TV programs are broadcast with stereo audio or a second
audio program (SAP) which off ers a second language. The Reception
feature lets you select the type of audio you want to record. Press 1
to switch between Reception: STEREO, MONO, and SAP.

Select  STEREO for normal or stereo broadcast TV recording.

Select MONO if the stereo signal is weak and the sound is too
noisy.

Select SAP to record a second audio program instead of the
normal audio on both the hi-fi and linear tracks.

Tape Playback

The VCR records the same audio on both the Hi-Fi and linear tracks
on the tape. Hi-Fi sound is recorded on separate left and right stereo
channels. Monaural sound is recorded on the linear track. Press 2 to
switch between Tape Playback: HI-FI,  LINEAR and MIX.

To enjoy Hi-Fi sound, connect your VCR to a ster eo television or
amplifier/receiver using the audio/video jacks. The  Tape  Playback
feature lets you select which audio you play back.

Select HI-FI to play back sound recorded on the Hi-Fi track and
for normal use.

Select LINEAR to play back the sound recorded on the linear
monaural track, such as a second audio program (SAP) or a
dubbed voice-over.

Select MIX to play back the sound recorded on both the linear
track and the Hi-Fi track, sound-on-sound.

Low voltage detection

When the r emote contr ol’s batteries begin to fail, the message
“Remote batteries are low” appears on the TV screen with the
on-screen display when you press the INFO button. Replace the
batteries (see  First Things First Section) before they completely fail.
