VHS Hi-Fi AUDIO AND MTS BROADCASTS

VHS Hi-Fi VCRs record and play back two kinds of audio tracks: Hi-Fi stereo tracks (left and right) and a normal (linear) audio track.

œThe Hi-Fi tracks contain two separate signals (for example, the left and right channels of a stereo program or the main and second SAP* signals).

œThe normal (linear) track is recorded and played back monaurally.

This VCR has a built-in MTS (Multichannel TV Sound) decoder that allows programs with multichannel sound (stereo and SAP* programs) to be received and recorded, as well as regular, non-stereo TV programs.

*MTS broadcasts may contain an optional SAP (Second Audio Program) soundtrack. The SAP soundtrack may carry the same information as the main soundtrack in another language or information that is not related to the video portion of the program.
