How sound is recorded on a video tape
The VCR records sound onto two separate tracks. Hi-fi audio is recorded onto the
main track along with the picture. Monaural sound is recorded onto the normal audio
track along the edge of the tape.
Notes
• To listen to playback sounds in stereo, you must use the PERITEL or AUDIO OUT
connections.
• When you play a tape recorded in monaural, the sound is heard in monaural regardless of the
AUDIO setting.
