40 Multi-Channel Television Sound System
To record and play programs broadcast in stereo, even if you have a single-speaker TV, just use one of the
connections shown, then follow the steps on pages 41-42.
Your VCR can play recordings broadcast in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear sound
from two sources. Your VCR also can play tapes recorded in a second audio (usually, that means your
program is recorded in a second language). Of course, your VCR will play tapes recorded in monaural
(single-source) sound as well.
Your VCR also will record in Hi-Fi stereo or in second audio, so when you play that tape on the VCR, it
will be in stereo or second audio.
Read the directions on this page to familiarize yourself with your VCR’s stereo and second audio setups.
Then follow the directions on page 41 to record in stereo or second audio and the directions on page 42
to play tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.
Understanding On-Screen Displays
When you receive a signal from a channel you’re watching, portions of the on-screen display shown below
will appear when you press the STATUS/EXIT button on the remote control.
The indication 2ND AUD or TV
STEREO that appears on this side of
the status display tells you if your
VCR is receiving a second audio or
stereo broadcast. Although a program
may be broadcast in both stereo and
second audio, you cannot record in
both stereo and second audio at the
same time.
The indication 2ND AUD or STEREO
that appears on this side of the status
display tells you if the program you’re
watching is available in second audio
or stereo. This indication is not avail-
able during tape playback.
Even though a program is available in
stereo or second audio, you still must
program the VCR to receive or record
the program. Follow the directions on
page 41.
