Getting Started (Initial Setup) When you set the option to HIFI, hi-fi tapes will play in high fidelity, and non-hi-fi tapes will play in linear mode. Stereo vs. Mono Sound When you select the STEREO option, your VCR records in stereo any station that broadcasts stereo sound. When a TV channel broadcasts in stereo, you'll see a stereo indicator on the TV screen. STEREO is the normal factory setting because it works for both stereo and mono broadcasts. It is also necessary for recording a second audio program (SAP). When you select MONO, sound is recorded as mono even when a channel broadcasts in stereo. Use the MONO setting when the stereo signal is not strong enough for quality reception (for example, when there is signal drift or noise). Hi-Fi Sound Hi-Fi sound is the same quality as that of a compact disc player. Its dynamic range of over 90dB will record either stereo or monaural broadcasts with the highest quality possible. Linear sound, on the other hand, will record monaural sound using the same format as a non hi-fi VCR. Stereo programs are recorded in hi-fi on both the left and right channels and also recorded on the linear track as monaural. 25

Stereo vs. Mono Sound
When you select the STEREO option, your VCR records in stereo any station that
broadcasts stereo sound.
When a TV channel broadcasts in stereo, you'll see a stereo
indicator on the TV screen.
STEREO is the normal factory setting because it works for both stereo and mono
broadcasts.
It is also necessary for recording a second audio program (SAP).
When you select MONO, sound is recorded as mono even when a channel broadcasts
in stereo.
Use the MONO setting when the stereo signal is not strong enough for quality reception
(for example, when there is signal drift or noise).
Hi-Fi Sound
Hi-Fi sound is the same quality as that of a compact disc player.
Its dynamic range of
over 90dB will record either stereo or monaural broadcasts with the highest quality
possible.
Linear sound, on the other hand, will record monaural sound using the same
format as a non hi-fi VCR.
Stereo programs are recorded in hi-fi on both the left and
right channels and also recorded on the linear track as monaural.
