MTS Broadcast Stereo System
Your VCR call play recordings broadcast in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear sound from two sources.
Your VCR also can play tapes recorded in a second audio (usually, that means your program is recorded in a second language).
Of course, your VCR will play tapes recorded in monaural (single-source) sound as well.
Your VCR also will record in Hi-Fi stereo or in second audio, so when you play back that tape on the VCR, it will be in stereo
or second audio. If you play back the tape on a VCR that can't play back tapes in stereo m" second'audio, the VCR will automat-
ically play the tape in monaural sound.
Read the directions on this page to familiarize yourself with. your VCR's stereo and second audio setups. Then follow the. direc.
tions on page 40 to record in stereo or second audio and the directions on page 41 to playback tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.
