Hi-Fi Audio System
Hi-Fi and linear audio
To provide true Hi-Fi audio sound with video entertainment and, at the same time, compatibility with regular
VHS tapes, your VCR employs a newly-developed audio recording system.
Hi-Fi audio signals (2-channel) are recorded deep into the tape's magnetic coating and the video signal is
recorded on top of the audio signals in a shallower layer. At the same time, another audio head records linear
audio signals (monaural) onto the normal audio track. With the Audio Dubbing function, it is possible to erase
the old monaural soundtrack and record a new one.
Tape pattern recorded with your VCR

Recording options according to the setting of the INPUT button

while the normal audio track provides
