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 22.
●
"O.S.D." must be set to "ON" or the
on-screen displays will not appear
(

pg. 8).
This feature expands sound field when you play back any stereo
source or view a stereo programme while recording it.
*SpatializerW has no effect on recording quality.

time, the sound may become unnatural; set either
function to "OFF".

turn on/off the recorder.
