Recording

Normal recording (Record:)

When your VCR is recording, it actually records the audio portion of a program twice: once on the stereo Hi-Fi tracks, and once on the mono track. Additionally, your VCR can receive Separate Audio Program (SAP) broadcasts. A SAP broadcast is an alternative soundtrack for a program; it is often a sound track in another language. The SAP broadcast is recorded only on the mono track.

Use the normal recording function to record the SAP broadcast on the mono track by choosing Stereo+SAP. Otherwise, choose Stereo. In either case, the main program is recorded on the stereo Hi-Fi track. Also, if there is no SAP broadcast, the VCR will record the main program on the mono track.

If it is set to Auto, the VCR will automatically select the ideal setting of PerfecTape Select depending on the condition of the tape.

This function is used to automatically fast forward or rewind to Ò0h00m00sÓ and stop the tape. See page 35 for more information on this feature.
