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 Scart or AUDIO OUT

connections.

• When you play a tape recorded in monaural, the sound is heard in monaural

regardless of the AUDIO MONITOR setting.
