Recording stereo and bilingual programs
Recording stereo programs
When you receive a program broadcast in stereo, press AUDIO MONITOR to display
STEREO on the TV screen. You can also select LEFT, RIGHT, or MONO. If there
is noise in the stereo program, select MONO. The sound will be recorded in
monaural (on both hi-fi and normal audio tracks) but with less noise.
Recording bilingual programs
Press AUDIO MONITOR to display “SAP” on the TV screen. When a SAP (Second
Audio Program) is received, “SAP” appears on the TV screen and the SAP indicator
lights up. When MAIN is selected, the VCR records only the main sound.
Selecting the sound during playback
During playback, press AUDIO MONITOR to select the sound you want.
How sound is recorded on a video tape
The VCR records sound onto two separate tracks. Hi-fi audio is recorded onto the
main track along with the picture. Monaural sound is recorded onto the normal audio
track along the edge of the tape.
Notes
• To play a tape in stereo, you must use the A/V connections.
• When you play a tape recorded in monaural, the sound is heard in monaural regardless of the
AUDIO MONITOR setting.
