Notes
• To play a tape in stereo, you must use the A/V connections.
• When you plav a tape recorded in monaural, the sound is heard in monaural
regardless of the AUDIO MONITOR setting.
• If the AUDIO MONITOR button does not function, check that AUDIO MIX in the
ADVANCED OPTIONS menu is set to OFF.
• Set NORMAL AUDIO to MAIN when not recording SAP sound, or no sound is
recorded on the normal audio track. If no sound is recorded on the normal audio
track and you play the tape on a mono VCR, you will see only video — no audio
