Soundtrack Selection

Your video recorder is capable of recording three soundtracks (HI-FI L, HI-FI R and NORM) and will play back the one you select.

During Playback

Pressing AUDIO on the remote control changes the soundtrack being played back as follows:
TRACK
Recorder's Front Panel On-Screen Display USE
+ HI FI For Hi-Fi stereo tapes
LR
HI FI For main audio of Bilingual tapes
L
HI FI For sub audio of Bilingual tapes
R
NORM NORM For audio-dubbed tapes
+ + NORM HI FI For audio-dubbed tapes
NORM
NOTES:
" + " should normally be selected.
In this mode, Hi-Fi stereo tapes are
played back in stereo, and the normal
audio track is played back
automatically for tapes with only
normal audio.
For instructions on recording stereo
and bilingual programmes, refer to
page 23.
"O.S.D." must be set to "ON" or the
on-screen displays will not appear
