Second Audio Program (SAP)

The VHS Hi-Fi audio system permits high fidelity record- ing of MTS STEREO TV broadcasts.

When a MTS STEREO broad- cast is received, ÒSTEREOÓ will appear on the screen for about STEREO 4 seconds and the program can

be viewed or recorded in stereo. The Hi-Fi stereo recording pro- cedure is the same as for normal recordings.

Note:

When using a Cable TV system, stereo TV programs may be transmitted over a mono cable channel. In this case ÒSTEREOÓ will not appear and the sound will be in mono.

Output selection

When viewing an MTS stereo TV program, or playing a prerecorded VHS Hi-Fi stereo videotape, press AUDIO SELECT to select how the audio will be heard through the speakers. Normally set to the Hi-Fi stereo position, this button can be set to the MONO position if the stereo broadcast or videotape audio is of poor quality. The ÒRÓ and ÒLÓ positions allow the audio from the Right or Left Hi-Fi channel to be heard over both TV speak- ers. This button has no effect when viewing a MONO videotape or TV program. Each time when you press the button, OUTPUT SELECTION display appears on the screen for several seconds. Refer to the chart below.
