How sound is recorded on a video tape (SLV-PH77EE only)
The unit 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
• Depending on your TV, the following may occur while playing an NTSC-recorded
tape:
– the picture is black and white,
– the picture shakes,
– no picture appears on the TV screen,
– black streaks appear horizontally on the TV screen, and
– the colour density increases or decreases.
• To listen to playback sounds in stereo, you must use the AUDIO OUT connections
(SLV-PH77EE only).
• When you play a tape recorded in monaural, the sound is heard in monaural
regardless of the AUDIO MONITOR setting.
• You cannot select the sound to listen to while recording.
• You can playback tapes recorded in the SP mode only.
• You can eject a tape even when the power is off. When you press
6 EJECT, the unit
turns on automatically. After ejecting the tape, the unit turns off again.
• When the pause mode lasts for more than approximately five minutes, the unit will
automatically enter the playback mode.
