Philips SVZ162 - Manual (Page 42)

42 MTS Broadcast Stereo System
Your VCR can play recordings broadcast in Hi-Fi (high fidelity) stereo, which produces a crisp, clear sound
from two sources. Your VCR also can play tapes recorded in a second audio (usually, that means your
program is recorded in a second language). Of course, your VCR will play tapes recorded in monaural
(single-source) sound as well.
Your VCR also will record in Hi-Fi stereo or in second audio, so when you play back that tape on the
VCR, it will be in stereo or second audio. If you play back the tape on a VCR that can’t play back tapes in
stereo or second audio, the VCR will automatically play the tape in monaural sound.
Read the directions on this page to familiarize yourself with your VCR’s stereo and second audio setups.
Then follow the directions on page 43 to record in stereo or second audio and the directions on page 44
to play back tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.
Understanding On-Screen Displays
When you receive a signal from a channel you’re watching, portions of the on-screen display shown below
will appear when you press the DISPLAY button on the remote control.
The indication SAP or STEREO that appears on this side of the status display
tells you if the program you’re watching is available in second audio or stereo.
Even though a program is available in second audio or stereo, you still must
program the VCR to receive or record the program. Follow the directions on
page 43. This indication is not available during tape playback.
