Copying or Dubbing a Video

Audio

The VCR can record a program in stereo. It can also be set to record the Secondary Audio Program (SAP) of any broad-
cast with second language audio. The VCR records the same audio on both the Hi-Fi and linear tracks on the tape.

Stereo Programs

1

Set the audio out to STEREO in the VCR Function

Setup menu (See page 11). 
You can also select LEFT, RIGHT or MONO. 

Note:  When the stereo sound is poor. 

Select MONO for sound without noise. 

To Record SAP Programs

Set the audio out to SAP in the VCR Function Setup

menu. “SAP” will be displayed on the TV screen when a
SAP broadcast is received. Press the REC button for
SAP recording.

*When “MAIN” is displayed, stereo is selected.

Selecting Playback Sound with Hi-Fi Tapes
