Notes

•To listen to playback sounds in stereo, you must use the Scart 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-1 menu is set to OFF (see page 78).

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

* SLV-SE600E, SX600E, SE700E1/E2, SX700E, and SE800E only
