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 is used for viewing pictures on the TV, sound will be monaural even though you select “HI-FI”.

You can also use the AUDIO button on the Remote to select the desired monitor sound.

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.

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 ( pg. 12).
