• When purchasing or
renting prerecorded tapes,
remember that only those
recorded in Hi-Fi stereo will
play back with true stereo
sound. Standard stereo
tapes will play back with
monaural sound.
• In order to listen to Hi-Fi stereo playback,
the VCR AUDIO (L/R) jacks must be
connected to a stereo TV or stereo amp
and speakers. (See previous page.)
• When adjusting the tracking during
playback, the Hi-Fi audio sound may revert
to normal audio sound. This is normal.
• There may be a difference in audio level
between Hi-Fi and normal audio playback.
