How sound is recorded on a video tape

The VCR records sounds onto two separate tracks. Hi-fi audio is recorded onto the main track along with the picture. Monaural sound is recorded onto the normal audio track along the edge of the tape.

Notes

•To play a tape in stereo, you must use the AUDIO OUT connections.

•When you play a tape recorded in monaural, the sound is heard in monaural regardless of the AUDIO MONITOR setting.

•If the AUDIO MONITOR button does not function, check that AUDIO MIX in the SET UP MENU is set to OFF.

•(for SLV-ED915PS/TH only)

If HIFI AUDIO is set to STD, the standard sound will be recorded on both the hi-fi and normal audio tracks. Pressing AUDIO MONITOR will not change the sound.
