Hi-Fi Audio System
To provide true Hi-Fi audio sound with video entertainment and, at the same time, compatibility with regular
VHS tapes, your VCR employs a newly-developed audio recording system.
Hi-Fi audio signals (2-channel) are recorded deep into the tape's magnetic coating and the video signal is
recorded on top of the audio signals in a shallower layer. At the same time, another audio head records linear
audio signals (monaural) onto the normal audio track. With the Audio Dubbing function, it is possible to erase
the old monaural soundtrack and record a new one.
Hi-Fi and linear audio
Hi-Fi audio recording and reproduction are
available only from the Hi-Fi audio track,
while the normal audio track provides
normal audio.
The Hi-Fi and normal soundtracks are
recorded simultaneously and audio dubbing
is applicable only to the normal audio track.
