Recording stereo programs

When you receive a program broadcast in stereo, press AUDIO MONITOR to display STEREO on the TV screen. You can also select LEFT, RIGHT, or MONO. If there is noise in the stereo program, select MONO. The sound will be recorded in monaural (on both hi-fi and normal audio tracks) but with less noise.

Recording bilingual programs

Press AUDIO MONITOR to display “SAP” on the TV screen. When a SAP (Second Audio Program) is received, “SAP” appears on the TV screen and the SAP indicator lights up. When MAIN is selected, the VCR records only the main sound.
