Recording stereo programmes
The VHS part of this player can record stereo and bilingual programmes
only through the line input. When stereo or bilingual sound is input
through the LINE IN jacks, the STEREO indicator lights up. You cannot
select the sound to listen to while recording.

How sound is recorded on a video tape
The VHS part of this player records sound onto two separate tracks. Hi-fi
audio is recorded onto the main track along with the picture. Monaural
sound is recorded onto the normal audio track along the edge of the tape.
Notes
• To listen to playback sound in stereo, you must use the AUDIO OUT connections.
• When you play a tape recorded in monaural, the sound is heard in monaural
regardless of the AUDIO MONITOR setting.
• If the AUDIO MONITOR button does not function, check that AUDIO MIX under
SET UP VHS is set to OFF (page 35).
