䡵AUDIO MONITOR — HI-FI/HI-FI L/HI-FI R/NORM/MIX

This VCR can record two sound tracks simultaneously (normal and
Hi-Fi) on a Hi-Fi stereo tape. You can select the sound track(s) to
listen to while playing back a Hi-Fi stereo tape. In addition, when
playing back a prerecorded tape containing two separate audio
programs on the Hi-Fi tracks, you can choose either one by
selecting either “HI-FI L” or “HI-FI R”.
HI-FI: Normally select this. Hi-Fi sound is played back.
HI-FI L: Sound on the left Hi-Fi channel is played back.
HI-FI R: Sound on the right Hi-Fi channel is played back.
NORM: Sound on the normal track is played back.
MIX: Both sounds on the Hi-Fi track and normal track are mixed
and played back.
NOTES:
●While playing back a monaural tape, sounds on the normal
track will be heard regardless of this setting.
●If RF connection (墌pg.6) is u sed for viewing pictures on the
TV, sound will be monaural even though you select “HI-FI”.
●You can also use the A.MONITOR button on the Remote to
select the desired monitor sound (墌pg.9).

䡵S-VHS MODE — ON/OFF

You can determine which recording mode — either S-VHS mode
or VHS mode — is used for recording on S-VHS tapes.
●When this function is set to “ON”, you can record on S-VHS
tapes with S-VHS picture quality.
●When this function is set to “OFF”, you can record on S-VHS
tapes with VHS picture quality.
NOTES:
●S-VHS mode allows you to make high quality video recordings
with horizontal resolution of 400 lines, comparing with the 230
lines of resolution of conventional VHS recordings. To achieve
the highest quality picture we recommended to record in S-VHS
mode. (But remember that a conventional VHS VCR without
SQPB cannot play back S-VHS tapes recorded in S-VHS mode.)
●S-VHS MODE setting does not affect recording on VHS tapes.
Recording on VHS tapes is always performed in VHS mode
except when using S-VHS ET mode (墌pg. 13).

䡵FRONT AUX INPUT — VIDEO/S-VIDEO

You have to select which terminal — either VIDEO (composite) or
S VIDEO (Y/C separate signals) to use as the video input terminal
on the front panel.
Make sure you select the correct terminal; otherwise, you may fail
in recording (editing) on this VCR.
Child Lock
You can disable the VCR operations. While the VCR is turned on,
press and hold POWER 1 on the Remote for more than
10seconds. The VCR turns off, “CL” appears for about 5 seconds
on the display panel.
To release the child lock, press and hold
POWER 1
on the
Remote until the VCR turns on.
NOTES:
●Pressing TIMER during timer recording, unplugging the AC
power cord or a power outage also releases the child lock.
●Even if the child lock function is in use, it is possible to engage
and disengage the timer mode with TIMER (#) on the Remote.
Keep the Remote out of the children’s reach.
●Timer recording programs will be performed even if the child
lock function is activated.
Turn on the VCR and TV, and select the VCR channel (or AV
mode).
