AUDIO MODE

The DVD/VCR Receiver has two separate audio playback sys-
tems, the high quality VHS Hi-Fi system and standard NOR-
MAL mono system. The same audio is generally recorded on
both systems. The VHS Hi-Fi system plays on separate (left
and right) channels, and the NORMAL system plays monaural
sound. The normal track is always played so the cassette can
be played on a DVD/VCR Receiver that does not have VHS
Hi-Fi.

AUDIO MODE can be switched between HI-FI and 
NORMAL using

B

.

BROADCAST TYPE (STEREO/SAP/MONO)

Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) carries stereo and/or
Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual signals. Set this display to
the desired position when both MTS stereo and SAP signals are
received. When only one of the MTS signal is received, the
DVD/VCR Receiver automatically selects the corresponding
receiving mode (Stereo or SAP) regardless of the selected posi-
tion. For normal operation, the display should be in the STEREO
position. The DVD/VCR Receiver will then record a STEREO pro-
gram when available, and record a mono program IF the program is
NOT IN STEREO.
For weak STEREO and/or SAP broadcasts, changing the dis-
play to mono may give clearer sound.

BROADCAST TYPE can be switched between STEREO,
SAP, and MONO using 

b

B

.

AUDIO OUTPUT (STEREO/LEFT/RIGHT)

Used during playback [when AUDIO MODE (HI-FI/NORMAL) is
in HI-FI position] for selecting the audio output signals from the
AUDIO OUT terminals (L ch and R ch), and RF.OUT.
This display setting should normally be left in the stereo posi-
tion, so that when a stereo tape is played, the stereo sound will
be heard through the left and right channels. If a mono tape is
played and the audio output is set to stereo, the same mono
sound will be heard from both left and right channels.

AUDIO OUTPUT can be switched between STEREO, LEFT,
and RIGHT using
