screen and the program can

19 for recording procedures).
The Hi-Fi STEREO recording procedure is the same as
for normal recordings.
NOTE: When using a CATV system, stereo TV programs
may be transmitted over a mono cable channel.
In this case the word “STEREO” will not appear
and the sound will be in mono.

recording of MTS STEREO TV broadcasts.
When viewing an MTS STEREO TV program, or playing
a prerecorded VHS Hi-Fi STEREO videotape, press

from the Right or Left Hi-Fi channel to be heard over
both TV speakers. This button has no effect when
viewing a MONO videotape or TV program. Each time
when you press the button, OUTPUT SELECTION
