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 listen to playback sounds in stereo, you must use the PERITEL or SORTIE
AUDIO connections.
• When you play a tape recorded in monaural, the sound is heard in monaural
regardless of the CHOIX SON setting.
• If the CHOIX SON does not function, check that MIX AUDIO in the OPTIONS-1
menu is set to OFF (see page 90).
• If SON HIFI is set to STANDARD, the standard sound will be recorded on both the
hi-fi and normal audio tracks. Pressing CHOIX SON will not change the sound.
