Your TV/VCR is fitted with an SAP broadcast system which enables you to switch to a SECOND AUDIO PROGRAM when viewing a selected channel.

This function applies only when the program is broadcast in multi-languages through the SAP

When an MTS STEREO broadcast is received, the STEREO will appear on the screen and the program can be viewed or recorded in stereo. The Hi-Fi STEREO recording procedure is the same as for normal record- ings.
