Hi-Fi Stereo Sound System
Your VCR will record and playback Hi-Fi stereo sound.
In addition it has a stereo NICAM digital stereo sound
decoder. This allows you to record and playback the
sound in several different ways. Video cassettes record-
ed on your VCR will have a normal mono audio track
and two VHS Hi-Fi stereo audio tracks. These stereo
tracks allow you to make audio recordings in Hi-Fi
stereo or bilingual mode from a TV broadcast, stereo
audio system, video disc or another Hi-Fi VCR.

Your VCR’s NICAM digital sound decoder allows
you to enjoy broadcasts with NICAM sound, as well
as standard stereo, bilingual and mono sound. The
particular type of sound received or that recorded
will be briefly displayed on the TV screen for a
couple of seconds:
STEREO NICAM
Sound is automatically recorded on the Hi-Fi stereo
and mono tracks of the video tape.

Both audio channels will be recorded on the Hi-Fi
stereo tracks. The primary language channel (left)
will be recorded on the mono track of the video
tape.

The sound is recorded on the Hi-Fi tracks and the
mono track of the video tape without any separation.
