WHAT IS BETA HI-FI RECORDING?
In conventional recording, audio signals are recorded
on the audio track and video signals on the video track.
In Beta hi-fi recording, audio signals are recorded on the
video track together with the video signals using 2
rotary video heads.
The Beta hi-fi audio signals are frequency-modulated
and recorded on 2 channels, so that you can record a
multichannel stereo program with sound quality far
superior to that of the conventional audio recording.

When the BETA HI-FI selector is set to ON, this recorder
records audio signals on the video track (Beta hi-fi
recording) and on the conventional audio track at the
same time, so that these tapes can also be played back
on any ordinary video cassette recorder without a Beta
hi-fi system.
