38 Multi-Channel Television Sound System

Your VCR can play recordings broadcast in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear sound from two sources. Your VCR also can play tapes recorded in a second audio (usually, that means your program is recorded in a second language). Of course, your VCR will play tapes recorded in monaural (single-source) sound as well.

Your VCR also will record in Hi-Fi stereo or in second audio, so when you play back that tape on the VCR, it will be in stereo or second audio. If you play back the tape on a VCR that can’t play back tapes in stereo or second audio, the VCR will automatically play the tape in monaural sound.

Read the directions on this page to familiarize yourself with your VCR’s stereo and second audio setups. Then follow the directions on page 39 to record in stereo or second audio and the directions on pages 40- 41 to play back tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.

Understanding On-Screen Displays

When you receive a signal from a channel you’re watching, portions of the on-screen display shown below will appear when you press the STATUS/EXIT button on the remote control.

The indication 2ND AUD or TV STEREO that appears on this side of the status display tells you if your VCR is programmed to receive a sec- ond audio or stereo broadcast (it can- not be programmed to receive both at the same time).

When a program broadcast in stereo is available, STEREO appears here.

When a program broadcast in second audio is available, 2ND AUD appears here.

When a program is available both in stereo and second audio, both STEREO and 2ND AUD appear here. Even though a program is avail- able in stereo or second audio, you still must program the VCR to receive or record the program. Follow the directions on page 39. NOTE: Although a program may be broadcast in both stereo and second audio, you cannot record in both stereo and second audio at the same time.

To record and play back programs broadcast in stereo, even if you have a single-speaker TV, just use one of the connections shown, then follow the steps on pages 39-41.
