How sound is recorded on a video tape

The VCR records sound onto two separate tracks. Hi-fi audio is recorded

onto the main track along with the picture. Monaural sound is recorded

onto the normal audio track along the edge of the tape.

* Usually the main sound (monaural)

Notes

• To listen to playback sounds in stereo, you must use the EURO-AV or AUDIO OUT

connections.

• When you play a tape recorded in monaural, the sound is heard in monaural

regardless of the AUDIO MONITOR setting.

• If the AUDIO MONITOR button does not function, check that AUDIO MIX in the

OPTIONS menu is set to OFF (see page 56).

• If HIFI AUDIO is set to STD, the standard sound will be recorded on both the hi-fi

and normal audio tracks. Pressing AUDIO MONITOR will not change the sound

(SLV-E780EN only).
