Using Audio and Video Functions

The audio and video function menus allow you to set things such as listening to the stereo track of your recording, or setting the tape length to have the remaining time display function work properly. The VCR will display the functions and settings on your TV screen. The first section describes the functions, the next section tells you how to adjust the functions.

Descriptions of Audio Functions

Audio monitor (Listen to):

This allows you to listen to the various audio tracks that yourVCR is capable of recording.

•Choose Stereo to listen to both stereo channels.

•Choose L to listen to the left channel of a stereo track.

•Choose R to listen to the right channel of a stereo track.

•Mono track is lower in quality than the others. The audio monitor is automatically set to Mono if you are watching a tape that was not recorded in VHS Hi-Fi. Set the audio monitor to Mono to hear SAP signal recorded on the mono track of a Hi-Fi tape.

IMPORTANT

Surround Sound systems: If you have your VCR connected to a surround sound system, set the audio monitor to Stereo. Surround sound requires both left and right channels to create the rear channel effects.

While the VCR is not playing a tape, you will see the following displays on the TV screen for 3 seconds when you change the channel or press DISPLAY.

If you change the channel to:

Normal recording (Record):

When yourVCR 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, theVCR will record the main program on the mono track.
