When a MTS STEREO broad-
cast is received, “STEREO” will
appear on the screen and the
program can be viewed or re-
corded in stereo.
The Hi-Fi stereo recording pro-
cedure is the same as for normal
recordings.
NOTES:
• When playing back a tape that is not recorded in Hi-Fi stereo
mode, the audio will automatically be monaural.
• When listening to a VHS Hi-Fi video tape or MTS broadcast

the sound will be monaural.
When viewing an MTS stereo TV program, or playing a
prerecorded VHS Hi-Fi stereo videotape, press AUDIO

the speakers. Normally set to the Hi-Fi stereo position,
this button can be set to the MONO position if the stereo
broadcast or videotape audio is of poor quality. The "R"
and "L" positions allow the audio from the Right or Left Hi-
Fi channel to be heard over both TV speakers. This
button has no effect when viewing a MONO videotape or
TV program. Each time when you press the button,
OUTPUT SELECTION display appears on the screen for
several seconds. Refer to the chart below.

made, make certain the letters "SAP" appears on the
screen. This means that the "Separate Audio Program"
broadcasting is available.
