NOTES:
• When playing back a tape that is
not recorded in Hi-Fi stereo mode,
the audio will automatically be
monaural.
• When listening to a VHS Hi-Fi
video tape or MTS broadcast
through the RF OUT (UHF/VHF)
jack (Audio/Video cord not con-
nected), the sound will be monau-
ral.
When a MTS STEREO broadcast is re-
ceived, the word “STEREO” will appear on
the screen and the program can be viewed
or recorded in stereo.
The Hi-Fi STEREO recording procedure is
the same as for normal recordings.
NOTE:
When using a CATV system, stereo TV programs may be transmitted
over a mono cable channel. In this case the word “STEREO” 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 “R” and “L”
positions allow the audio from the Right or Left Hi-Fi channel to be
heard over both TV speakers. 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 sev-
eral seconds. Refer to the chart below.
