Recording a TV Programme
Only for Hi-Fi model
Recording Hi-Fi Stereo Sound
Your VCR records AUDIO signals on two types of audio tracks.
Hi-Fi:
Using specialized rotary heads, audio signals are recorded on the video track in FM format.
Multi-sound broadcasts (Stereo or SAP [Separate Audio Programme]) are recorded on two channels.
Linear:
All audio signals are recorded in mono on the linear audio track.
• Video cassettes recorded on a non-Hi-Fi VCR can also be playback. However, if the audio signals are recorded on two
linear channels, stereo programmes will be playback in monaural and SAP (Separate Audio Programme) will be playback
with both the MAIN and SAP audio mixed together.
• Video cassettes recorded on this VCR can be playback on a non-Hi-Fi VCR. However, only the linear track will be
playback.
Recording MTS (Multi-channel TV Sound) Broadcasts
Your VCR can record stereo or SAP (Separate Audio
Programme) broadcasts, where available.
If the broadcast is in stereo, the VCR automatically
records the stereo sound in dynamic Hi-Fi. If the
broadcast is in SAP, you can record both the MAIN
and the SAP sound by using the SET UP–selection
screen to set the SAP mode to ON. If the broadcast is
in stereo/SAP, you can record either the SAP sound by
using the SET UP–selection screen to set the SAP
mode to ON, or stereo sound by setting the SAP mode
to OFF. (See Mode Selection.)
