42 Multi-Channel Television Sound System
To record and play back programs broadcast in stereo, even if you have a Mono Speaker TV, just use one
of the connections shown, then follow the steps on pages 43-45.
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 pages 44-
45 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 STATUS/EXIT button on the remote control.
The indication 2ND AUD or
TV STEREO that appears on
this side of the status display
tells you if your VCR is pro-
grammed to receive a second
audio or stereo broadcast (it
cannot be programmed to
receive both at the same
time). Follow the steps on
page 43 to program the VCR
to receive a second audio or
stereo broadcast.
The indication 2ND AUD 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 pro-
gram. Follow the directions on
page 43. This indication is not
available during tape playback.
