Second Audio Program (SAP)
When a MTS STEREO broad-
cast is received, “STEREO” will
appear on the screen for about
4 seconds and the program can
be viewed or recorded in stereo.
The Hi-Fi stereo recording pro-
cedure is the same as for normal
recordings.
Notes:
• When playing back a tape that is not recorded in Hi-Fi stereo
mode, the audio will automatically be monaural.
• When listening to a VHS Hi-Fi video tape or MTS broadcast
through the VHF/UHF jack (Audio/Video cable not connected),
the sound will be monaural.
When viewing an MTS stereo TV program, or playing a
prerecorded VHS Hi-Fi stereo videotape, press AUDIO
SELECT to select how the audio will be heard through
the speakers. Normally set to the Hi-Fi stereo position,
this button can be set to the MONO position if the
stereo broadcast or videotape audio is of poor quality.
The “R” and “L” positions allow the audio from the Right
or Left Hi-Fi channel to be heard over both TV speak-
ers. This button has no effect when viewing a MONO
videotape or TV program. Each time when you press
the button, OUTPUT SELECTION display appears on
the screen for several seconds. Refer to the chart
below.
Output selection
Your DVD/VCR is fitted with a SAP broadcast system which
enables you to switch to a second audio program when view-
ing a selected channel.
This function applies only when the program is broadcast in
multi-languages through the SAP broadcast system.
When the VCR is turned on or a channel selection is
made, make certain the letters “SAP” appears on the
screen for about 4 seconds. This means that the “Second
Audio Program” broadcasting is available.
