Hi-Fi Stereo Sound System

Your VCR will record and playback Hi-Fi stereo sound. In addition it has a stereo NICAM digital stereo sound decoder. This allows you to record and playback the sound in several different ways. Video cassettes recorded on your VCR will have a normal mono audio track and two VHS Hi-Fi stereo audio tracks. These stereo tracks allow you to make audio recordings in Hi-Fi stereo or bilingual mode from a TV broadcast, stereo audio system, video disc or another Hi-Fi VCR.

1.Your VCR’s NICAM digital sound decoder allows you to enjoy broadcasts with NICAM sound, as well as standard stereo, bilingual and mono sound. The particular type of sound received or that recorded will be briefly displayed on the TV screen for a couple of seconds:

STEREO NICAM

Sound is automatically recorded on the Hi-Fi stereo and mono tracks of the video tape.

BIL NICAM

Both audio channels will be recorded on the Hi-Fi stereo tracks. The primary language channel (left) will be recorded on the mono track of the video tape.

MONO

The sound is recorded on the Hi-Fi tracks and the mono track of the video tape without any separation.

2.Press AUDIO repeatedly until the desired audio mode appears.

3.The choice is STEREO, LEFT, RIGHT and MONO. In BIL NICAM playback the primary lan- guage is output on the left channel and the sec- ondary channel is output simultaneously from the right channel when audio output is set to

STEREO.

The primary language will be output from both channels when the audio setting is MONO. Please note that when adjusting the tracking control Hi-Fi stereo sound may revert to MONO.

Note:

When OFF is selected in NIC, only mono sound will be output.
