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 play a tape in stereo, you must use the A/V connections.
• When you play a tape recorded in monaural, the sound is hoard in monaural
regardless of the AUDIO MONITOR setting.
• Set NORMAL AUDIO to MAIN when not recording SAP sound, or no sound is
recorded on the normal audio track. If no sound is recorded on the normal audio
track and you play the tape on a mono VCR, you will see only video — no audio
will be heard.
