Hi-Fi Stereo Sound System
Your VCR will record and playback Hi-Fi stereo
sound. In addition it has a stereo NICAM digital stereo
sound decoder. This allows you to record and playback
the sound in several different ways. Video cassettes
recorded on your VCR will have a normal mono audio
track and two VHS Hi-Fi stereo audio tracks. These
stereo tracks allow you to make audio recordings in
Hi-Fi stereo or bilingual mode from a TV broadcast,
stereo audio system, video disc or another Hi-Fi VCR.
1. Your VCR’s NICAM digital sound decoder allows
you to enjoy broadcasts with NICAM sound, as
well as standard stereo, bilingual and mono sound.
The particular type of sound received or that
recorded will be briefly displayed on the TV screen
for a couple of seconds:
STEREO NICAM
Sound is automatically recorded on the Hi-Fi
stereo and mono tracks of the video tape.
BIL NICAM
Both audio channels will be recorded on the Hi-Fi
