Notes
• This function is available only when the tape sound is reproduced on a stereo TV
(or other stereo audio equipment). If the connected TV or other audio equipment is
monaural or simulated stereo, you cannot get a clear effect.
• We recommend that you do not use the surround effect function of this VCR and
that of the connected TV (or other audio equipment) at the same time. If you do so,
the function may not work properly because the effects overlap each other.
