Notes

•To listen to playback sounds in stereo, you must use the PERITEL or SORTIE AUDIO connections.

•When you play a tape recorded in monaural, the sound is heard in monaural regardless of the CHOIX SON setting.

•If the CHOIX SON button does not function, check that MIX AUDIO in the OPTIONS-1 menu is set to NON (see page 78).

•If SON HIFI is set to STANDARD, the standard sound will be recorded on both the hi-fi and normal audio tracks. Pressing CHOIX SON will not change the sound.
