This DVD+VCR is equipped with the VHS Hi-Fi audio
sound system for recording and playback. The informa-
tion below gives a brief description of Hi-Fi audio and
how to record and play a tape in the Hi-Fi audio mode.
Playback with Hi-Fi Stereo Audio Sound
A stereo TV with AUDIO/VIDEO input jacks or a stereo
audio system is required for true stereo playback. To
experience the full and rich stereo sound available with
Hi-Fi recorded tapes, we recommend the connection of
this unit to a home stereo audio system.

sound system.
