The Hi-Fi stereo sound system
34
Introduction
This video recorder will record and playback Hi-Fi stereo sound. There are, therefore,
several possible ways of recording and playing back the sound. These are described
below.
The audio tracks
Video cassette tapes recorded on this video recorder will have a normal mono audio
track and two
video tape
Hi-Fi stereo audio tracks. These allow you to make audio
recordings
in Hi-Fi stereo or bilingual mode from a TV broadcast, a stereo audio
system, a video
disc or another video recorder.
Using your video recorder in combination with a Hi-Fi audio system will enhance the
sound quality of video tapes.
Stereo, bilingual, mono
STEREO AUDIO RECORDING- A TV broadcast being transmitted in stereo sound
mode will display STEREO on the TV screen. During recording stereo sound will
automatically be recorded on the Hi-Fi stereo tracks of the video tape, and in mono on
the mono track.
BILINGUAL AUDIO RECORDING- A TV broadcast being transmitted in bilingual
sound will display BIL on the TV screen. Both audio channels will automatically be
recorded on the Hi-Fi stereo tracks of the video tape, and the main channel (left) will
be recorded on the mono track.
Audio output during playback
The audio output mode during playback is that chosen “AUDIO” in the main menu.
The choice is STEREO, LEFT (left channel), RIGHT (right channel) or MONO.
Note-
that whilst adjusting the auto tracking control Hi-Fi stereo sound may revert to
mono sound
BILINGUAL AUDIO OUTPUT -
If the audio output is bilingual the primary language is
output from the left channel, and the secondary language is output simultaneously
from the right channel when the audio setting is STEREO. The primary language is
output from both channels when the audio setting is MONO.
