Stereo sound is possible from this VCR if you have a stereo TV connected to the VCR with a 
scart lead, or audio equipment connected with audio phono leads.  The VCR is normally set 
so that stereo sound is possible. The sound output from the VCR is controlled by the 

 button on the remote control. If you wish to change the sound output you can 

use the 

 button as follows:

•

Press 

 once. The LEFT audio channel will be sent to BOTH speakers.

 will 

appear on the VCR display.

•

Press 

twice. The RIGHT audio channel will be sent to BOTH speakers.

will 

appear on the VCR display.

•

Press 

 three times. The MONO track will be sent to BOTH speakers. 

 and 

 

will disappear from the VCR display. 

•

Pressing 

 a fourth time, normal Hi-Fi stereo sound will be heard. 

and 

 will 

appear on the VCR display.

Your VCR can receive and record programmes broadcast in NICAM sound (the factory pre-
set condition for NICAM is AUTO). NICAM sound may not be stereo, this depends on the 
programme being received.

Audio is automatically recorded in two different ways:

(i)  Hi-Fi: Using specialised rotary heads, two audio signals are recorded on to the tape. These 
     will be stereo, mono or bilingual depending on the sound being received.

(ii) Normal: A mono recording is also made on the conventional analogue audio track.

Press

screen.

Press [

Press 

, to exit to normal screen.

•

If the tape being played back does not carry sound recorded on Hi-Fi tracks, L and R 
will not appear on the display.

•

lf the sound contains ‘crackling’ or ‘popping’ noises the sound quality may be 
improved by adjusting the tracking using CHANNEL 

/ 

.

•

If the poor quality is for a long period the VCR will automatically select the mono track 
and the sound will be in mono.

•

Not all TV transmitters provide NICAM  sound. In this case the VCR automatically 
switches to receive the mono signal.

•

NICAM sound may not be stereo.
