SELECTING THE SIGNAL TO RECORD

You can select the signal to record — from the IN FROM ANT jack or an audio/video source — in either of these ways.

Repeatedly press INPUT until the desired input source appears — LINE (LINE 1 or LINE 2 on the Model 62) for an audio/ video source, or a channel number for broadcast signals.

Repeatedly press CH s or CH t to set the VCR to the desired broadcast channel or to one channel higher than the highest chan- nel number (or one channel lower than the lowest channel number) for an audio/video source.

Note: (Model 62 only) Select LINE 1 for re- cording signals from the back AUDIO IN 1/VID- EO IN 1 jacks, or LINE 2 for recording signals from the front AV2 jacks.

RECEIVING/RECORDING STEREO/SAP BROADCASTS (MODEL 62 ONLY)

The Model 62 has three channels for audio re- cording — two (left and right) stereo channels on the Hi-Fi track, and one monaural channel on the standard track.

Press DISP/ENT to display the audio programs available on the broadcast you are currently tuned to. STEREO, SAP, and MONO appear. Parenthesis appear around each type of audio signal that is not available. For example, if a station broadcasts mono (monaural) and SAP signals, (STEREO), SAP, and MONO appear.

The arrow mark on the right of the audio mode display indicates the current audio mode. To select the audio mode when the broadcast has a stereo or SAP signal, press SAP/Hi-Fiso the arrow mark points to the desired mode.
