Recording stereo programs
This VCR automatically receives and records stereo programs. When a
stereo program is received, the STEREO indicator lights up. If there is noise

menu to OFF. The sound will be recorded in monaural (on both hi-fi and
normal audio tracks) but with less noise. For details, see page 32.

sound, set TUNER AUDIO in the ADVANCED OPTIONS menu to SAP. For
details, see page 33.
