Depending on your TV and other equipment there
are various ways you can connect the player.
Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR,
stereo system or other devices as necessary for
additional connection information.

Notes:

• The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or
radio may be distorted during playback. Position

jacks on the TV using the supplied audio cables

(A2).

Note:

If you use this connection, set the TV’s source selec­tor to VIDEO.

OUT (A1, V) jacks.

Note:

The video may be displayed unstable.

S-Video connection

SETUP

FUNCTION OSD

The on-screen display can be turned on or off.

AUDIO MODE

The unit has two separate audio playback systems,
the high quality VHS Hi-Fi system and standard
NORMAL mono system. The same audio is generally
recorded on both systems. The VHS Hi-Fi system
plays on separate (left and right) channels, and the
NORMAL system plays monaural sound. The normal
track is always played so the cassette can be played
on a unit that does not have VHS Hi-Fi.

AUDIO OUTPUT (STEREO/LEFT/RIGHT)

Used during playback [when AUDIO MODE
(HI-FI/NORMAL) is in HI-FI position] for selecting the
audio output signals from the AUDIO OUT terminals
(L ch and R ch). This display setting should normally
be left in the stereo position, so that when a stereo
tape is played, the stereo sound will be heard through
the left and right channels. If a mono tape is played
and the audio output is set to stereo, the same mono
sound will be heard from both left and right channels.
