AUDIO MODE

The DVD & Hi-Fi VCR Home Theater has two separate audio playback systems, a high quality VHS Hi-Fi system and a NORMAL mono system. The same audio is generally recorded on both. The VHS Hi-Fi system plays on separate (left and right) channels, and the NORMAL system plays monaural sound. The NORMAL track of a cassette is always played, so even if VHS Hi-Fi is not available for some reason, it can still be played on this system. AUDIO MODE: Choose Hi-Fi or NORMAL with b/B.

BROADCAST TYPE (STEREO/SAP/MONO)
Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS) carries stereo and/or Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual signals. Set this display to the desired position when both MTS stereo and SAP signals are received. When only one of the MTS signals is received, the DVD & Hi-Fi VCR Home Theater automatically selects the corresponding receiving mode (Stereo or SAP) regardless of the selected position. For normal operation, the display should be in the STEREO position. The system will then record a STEREO program when available, or a mono program if the program is not broadcast in stereo. For weak STEREO and/or SAP broadcasts, changing the display to mono may give clearer sound. BROADCAST TYPE: Choose STEREO, SAP, or MONO with b/B.
