Multi-Channel Television Sound System

40 Multi-Channel Television Sound System

Your VCR can play recordings broadcast in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear sound from two sources. Your VCR also can play tapes recorded in a second audio (usually, that means your program is recorded in a second language). Of course, your VCR will play tapes recorded in monaural (single-source) sound as well.

Your VCR also will record in Hi-Fi stereo or in second audio, so when you play that tape on the VCR, it will be in stereo or second audio.

Read the directions on this page to familiarize yourself with your VCR’s stereo and second audio setups. Then follow the directions on page 41 to record in stereo or second audio and the directions on page 42 to play tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.

Understanding On-Screen Displays

When you receive a signal from a channel you’re watching, portions of the on-screen display shown below will appear when you press the STATUS/EXIT button on the remote control.

The indication 2ND AUD or TV STEREO that appears on this side of the status display tells you if your VCR is receiving a second audio or stereo broadcast. Although a program may be broadcast in both stereo and second audio, you cannot record in both stereo and second audio at the same time.

The indication 2ND AUD or STEREO that appears on this side of the status display tells you if the program you’re watching is available in second audio or stereo. This indication is not avail- able during tape playback.

Even though a program is available in stereo or second audio, you still must program the VCR to receive or record the program. Follow the directions on page 41.

To record and play programs broadcast in stereo, even if you have a single-speaker TV, just use one of the connections shown, then follow the steps on pages 41-42.
