The same audio is generallyrecorded on both systems. The VHS Hi-Fi systemplays on separate (left and right) channels, and theNORMAL system plays monaural sound. The normaltrack is always played so the cassette can be playedon a DVD+VCR that does not have VHS Hi-Fi.BROADCAST TYPE (STEREO/SAP/MONO)Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) carries stereoand/or Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual sig-nals. Set this display to the desired position whenboth MTS stereo and SAP signals are received.When only one of the MTS signal is received, theDVD+VCR automatically selects the correspondingreceiving mode (Stereo or SAP) regardless of theselected position. For normal operation, the displayshould be in the STEREO position. The DVD+VCRwill then record a STEREO program when available,and record a mono program IF the program is NOTIN STEREO. For weak STEREO and/or SAP broad-casts, changing the display to mono may give clearersound.AUDIO OUTPUT (STEREO/LEFT/RIGHT)Used during playback [when AUDIO MODE (HI-FI/NORMAL) is in HI-FI position] for selecting theaudio output signals from the AUDIO OUT terminals(L ch and R ch), and RF.OUT. This display settingshould normally be left in the stereo position, so thatwhen a stereo tape is played, the stereo sound willbe heard through the left and right channels. If amono tape is played and the audio output is set tostereo, the same mono sound will be heard from bothleft and right channels.title
