Recording Hi-Fi Stereo Sound
Your VCR records AUDIO signals on two types of audio tracks.
Hi-Fi:
Using specialized rotary heads, audio signals are recorded on the video track in FM format.
Multi-sound broadcasts (Stereo or SAP [Separate Audio Programme]) are recorded on two channels.
Linear:
All audio signals are recorded in mono on the linear audio track.
Notes:
• Video cassettes recorded on a non Hi-Fi VCR can also be playback. However. If the audio signals are recorded
on two linear channels, stereo programmes will be playback in monaural and SAP (Separate Audio Programme)
will be playback with both the MAIN and SAP audio mixed together.
• Video cassettes recorded on this VCR can be playback on a non-Hi-Fi VCR. However, only the linear track will be
playback.
Recording MTS (Multi-channel TV Sound)
Broadcasts
Your VCR can record stereo or SAP (Separate Audio Programme)
broadcasts, where available.
If the broadcast is in stereo, the VCR automatically records the
stereo sound in dynamic Hi-Fi. If the broadcast is in SAP, you can
record both the MAIN and the SAP sound by using the ENTER
button selection screen to set the SAP mode to ON. If the broadcast
is in stereo/SAP, you can record either the SAP sound by using the
ENTER button selection screen to set the SAP mode to ON, or
stereo sound by setting the SAP mode to OFF. (See Mode
Selection.)
