Philips VRB661AT - Manual (Page 47)

Multi-Channel Television Sound System (VRB66I only) 47
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 (usualiy, that means your pro­
gram 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 yourVCR’s stereo and second audio setups.
Then follow the directions on page 48 to record in stereo or second audio and the directions on page 49
to play back tapes recorded in Hi-Fi stereo.
