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).
