Choosing a Mode for Audio Playback
Choose between
HIFI is the preferred setting because it works for all tapes whether they were recorded in
there is no audio, try the LINEAR option.

Stereo vs. Mono Sound
When you select the STEREO option, your VCR records in stereo any station that broadcasts stereo sound. When a TV channel broadcasts in stereo, you'll see a stereo indicator on the TV screen.
STEREO is the normal factory setting because it works for both stereo and mono broadcasts. It is also necessary for recording a second audio program (SAP). When you select MONO, sound is recorded as mono even when a channel broadcasts in stereo.
Use the MONO setting when the stereo signal is not strong enough for quality reception (for example, when there is signal drift or noise).
