The Hi-Fi system 

The player records the complete sound signal transmitted by the TV station.

On the mono VCR, you will hear the normal mono sound.

In addition to the normal mono sound track of VHS video recorders, your player is equipped with a high-
quality Hi-Fi sound system.

This means you can enjoy
• films with excellent stereo sound
• films of full-length concerts in high quality stereo
• films with impressive Surround Sound using additional Surround equipment
• films with two dialogue modes (dual, bilingual), usually the original sound track and dubbed sound track
• VHS cassettes with Hi-Fi stereo sound and VHS cassette with normal sound

What you can listen to 

During Stop, the player displays what the current station is broadcasting. When
you switch to another station or the current station changes the sound mode, your
player displays the programme and sound mode on screen (if not, press AUDIO).
• “STEREO” = stereo

“BIL I / BIL II ”=bilingual

nothing= monaural sound

During Playback, the player displays what is recorded on
the cassette (if not, press AUDIO).
• “Hi-Fi” = stereo/bilingual

nothing = monaural sound

Connections and Copying

To the TV via antenna cable (if you are not using a SCART cable)

If you are using a SCART cable, select the AV input on the TV to see the picture from the player.

If you are not using a SCART cable, select the programme number on the TV reserved for video
input to see the picture from the player.

If you are not using a SCART cable, your player can transmit pictures and sound to the TV via the coax aerial
cable. Just tune the TV to the player's transmitting channel (factory set to UHF CH 52). Tune the TV carefully to
ensure the best pictures and sound.

Once you have carried out the steps in "Connecting up the player" , switch
on your TV.
Press the [OK] button of the player’s remote control longer than 5 seconds
to call the player´s test picture. 
Tune the TV to the test picture using the channel pre-set functions of your
TV as described in its manual.
When you have found the test picture, store it under the button number on
your TV for player input.
Press the [OK] button of the player’s remote control again longer than 5
seconds to release the test picture.

1

• If the quality of the test picture transmitted to the TV is poor due to

interference caused by a station transmitting on channel 52, you can tune
the player to a different transmitting channel. Find a free channel
between 21 and 69 on your TV. 

Call the player’s "SETUP" choose  "VCR SETUP" then "RF   
OUTPUT SET".

Type in the free channel. 

Store and exit.

• If the quality of the test picture transmitted to the TV is poor, fine-tuning on the TV may

help (refer to the TV manual).

• Without a scart cable, you will not get stereo sound from a TV capable of stereo sound.
