RCA B27TF680 manual Reception, Tape Playback

Using the TV/VCR/DVD’s Features

Reception

Some TV programs are broadcast with stereo audio or a Second Audio Program (SAP) which offers a second language. The SOUND button on the remote lets you select the type of audio you want to listen to or record. Press the SOUND button on the remote repeatedly to switch between STEREO or SAP.

•STEREO Used to hear/record normal or stereo broadcast TV. ST appears on the TV screen when stereo is being broadcast.

•SAP Used to hear/record a Second Audio Program. SAP appears on the TV screen when stereo is being broadcast. Both the SAP and main audio are recorded on the tape.

Note: The TV/VCR/DVD defaults to mono if the stereo signal is weak, too noisy, or the program isn’t being broadcast in stereo (no indicator appears on the screen).

Tape Playback

The VCR records audio on both the Hi-Fi stereo and linear tracks on the tape. Hi-Fi sound is recorded on separate left and right stereo channels. Monaural sound is recorded on the linear track. SAP is recorded on the linear track and the main audio is recorded on the Hi-Fi track. To enjoy Hi-Fi sound, connect your TV/VCR/DVD to a stereo system using the audio jacks.

Press the SOUND button repeatedly to switch between LR, L, R, or mono (no display).

Note: Tapes recorded on a mono VCR automatically play back in linear audio.

•LR (Hi-Fi)Used for normal playback. Both the left and right channels play from the audio track.

•L (Hi-Fi)Used to hear the left channel of the Hi-Fi track played through both speakers.

•R (Hi-Fi)Used to hear the right channel of the Hi-Fi track played through both speakers.

•LINEAR (No Display) Used to play back the sound recorded on the linear monaural track, such as a Second Audio Program, or a dubbed voice-over.
