Stereo Recording and Playback
The VHS Hi-Fi audio system permits high fidelity recording of MTS
STEREO TV broadcasts.
When a MTS STEREO broadcast is received, the word “STEREO” will ap- pear on the screen for about 4 seconds and the program can be viewed or re- corded in stereo.
The Hi-Fi STEREO recording procedure is the same as for normal recordings.
NOTE:
When using a CATV system, stereo TV programs may be transmitted over a mono cable channel. In this case the word "STEREO" will not appear and the sound will be in mono.
Output selection
When viewing an MTS STEREO TV program, or playing a prerecorded VHS Hi-Fi STEREO videotape, press A.MONITOR to select how the audio will be heard through the speakers. Normally set to the Hi-Fi STEREO position, this button can be set to the MONO position if the stereo broadcast or videotape audio is of poor quality. The "R" and "L" positions allow the audio from the Right or Left Hi-Fi channel to be heard over both TV speakers. This button has no effect when viewing a MONO videotape or TV program. Each time when you press the button, OUTPUT SELECTION display appears on the screen for several seconds. Refer to the chart below.
