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 connection.
• When you play a tape recorded in monaural, the sound is heard in monaural

regardless of the AUDIO MONITOR setting.

• If the AUDIO MONITOR button does not function, check that AUDIO MIX in the

SET UP MENU is set to OFF.

Hi-fi audio track
(main track)

Stereo sound (left/
right channels)

Usually mixed left/
right channels

Normal audio track
(monaural)

Recording stereo and bilingual programs (continued)
