main track along with the picture. Monaural sound is recorded onto the normal audio
track along the edge of the tape.
Notes
•To listen to playback sounds in stereo, you must use the PERITEL or AUDIO OUT
connections.
•When you play a tape recorded in monaural, the sound is heard in monaural regardless of the
AUDIO setting.
