VHS Hi-Fi Stereo System/
MTS Broadcast
The DVD+VCR is equipped with the VHS Hi-Fi audio
sound system for recording and playback. The informa-
tion below gives a brief description of Hi-Fi audio and
how to record and play a tape in Hi-Fi audio mode.
Playback with Hi-Fi Stereo Audio Sound
A stereo TV with AUDIO/VIDEO input jacks or a stereo
audio system is required for true stereo playback. To
experience the full and rich stereo sound available with
Hi-Fi recorded tapes, we recommend the connection of
this unit to a home stereo audio system.

Multi-Channel TV Sound (MTS)
The DVD+VCR will decode MTS stereo and bilingual
(SAP) off-the-air broadcast sound signals. It also
decodes stereo TV sound from local cable companies,
as long as they operate on assigned cable frequencies
and use the EIA-recommended MTS stereo/bilingual TV
sound system.

The DVD+VCR can record in stereo onto the VHS Hi-Fi audio
tracks if the BROADCAST TYPE option is set to STEREO in
the VCR Setup menu. The DVD+VCR will also record mono
audio onto the mono audio track.

Use the BROADCAST TYPE option to select the desired
recording mode (STEREO or SAP).
