      If you're not getting stereo audio record or playback on your Zenith DVD VCR Combo, first ensure the broadcast program is actually in stereo. Then, check that the DVD VCR A/V Out jacks are properly connected to the TV A/V In jacks. Make sure you've selected the correct AUX or A/V source as the TV input. Finally, verify that the BROADCAST TYPE mode is set to STEREO, not SAP or MONO.
