Audio Features

The audio you select affects both tape playback and recordings.

Note: The TV/VCR must be properly connected to a stereo system using audio/video cables to hear stereo sound.

Press the SOUND button on the remote to select the type of audio you want to listen to or record. You can use the AUDIO ADJUST menu in the next chapter to adjust the sound.

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, SAP or MONO.

•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. Records the selected audio (SAP or Main).

•Mono Used to hear/record monoaural sound.

Note: The TV/VCR 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. Records the audio (SAP or Main) selected with the SOUND button. To enjoy Hi-Fi sound, connect your TV/VCR to a stereo system using the audio jacks.

Note: Tapes recorded on a mono VCR will automatically be played back in linear audio.
