•If the other VCR is a monaural type and connected to this VCR’s LINE-1 IN jacks, the sound is recorded only on the channel whose jack is connected to the audio plug. To record on both right and left channels, connect the audio plugs to the AUDIO R/L jacks using a VMC-910HG audio/video cable (not supplied) (SLV- L69HF MX, L72HF PA/PC, L79HF CL/CS/VZ, L89HF CL/CS/MX/VZ and X66HF MX only).
