Hi-Fi Audio System

Hi-Fi and linear audio

To provide true Hi-Fi audio sound with video entertainment and, at the same time, compatibility with regular VHS tapes, your VCR employs a newly-developed audio recording system. Hi-Fi audio signals (2-channel) are recorded deep into the tape's magnetic coating and the video signal is recorded on top of the audio signals in a shallower layer. At the same time, another audio head records linear audio signals (monaural) onto the normal audio track. With the Audio Dubbing function, it is possible to erase the old monaural soundtrack and record a new one.

If you find that your VCR is not operating correctly, or no indications appear in the display, you can reset it.

x x x x

To help you understand the main technical terms used in this booklet and take full advantage of the features on your VCR, here are a few definitions. Tuner Element in the VCR used to decode the signals received via the antenna or cable TV. A tuner can only receive one broadcast at a time but you can use the tuner in your VCR to record one program while watching a different program via the tuner in your television. To receive a broadcast, the tuner must be set to the frequency of the appropriate channel. Frequency assigned to a given broadcasting company to enable them to transmit a series of broadcasts or programs. Number assigned to a given channel on the tuner in the VCR to help you select it more easily. Broadcast transmitted on a given channel. Coaxial cable network transmitting broadcasts on a subscription basis. The cable is connected to the same input as an antenna. Standard used to code pictures and sound. Different standards are used in different countries. In the United Kingdom for example, the PAL I standard is used.
Explanation/Solution Check that the power plug is connected to a wall outlet. Have you pressed the VCR POWER button? A video cassette can only be inserted with the window side up and the safety tab facing you. Check that the VCR has not been safety-locked (LOCK displayed). If so, hold P/STILL ( ) down for at least five seconds to release it. Check the VCR/antenna connections. Is the VCR tuner properly set? Check if the safety tab is intact on the cassette. Was the VCR POWER button pressed to activate the timer? Re-check the recording start/stop time settings. If there was a power failure or interruption during timer recording, the recording will have been cancelled. Check that the channel number selected with the Timer Program code is correct. Press the TRACKING buttons ( or ). Check to see if you are using a pre-recorded tape. Check the playback system in the USER SET Menu. Check the SQPB in the Front Panel. (See page 31) Check that the source selected using the INPUT button is the VCRs tuner. Check the TV.VCR/antenna connections. Press the TRACKING buttons ( or ) to minimize this effect.
