VIDEO TAPES
• If you use only good quality video tapes, generally it will not be necessary to clean the
video heads.
• If poor quality tapes are used, or if a tape is loaded after changing VCR location, oxide
from the tape may "clog" the video heads. This will cause the playback picture to be
"snowy", or even disappear.
• To remove minor contamination run a video tape in visual search mode. If this fails, you
will need to have the heads cleaned by a SHARP Service Facility. Please note, if cleaning
is necessary it is not covered by the guarantee.
• Use video tapes which carry the mark.

HI-FI STEREO SOUN D
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
AUDIO OUT button on the remote control. If you wish to change the sound output you can
use the AUDIO OUT button as follows:
• Press AUDIO OUT once. The LEFT audio channel will be sent to BOTH speakers. L will
appear on the VCR display.
• Press

N ICAM H i-Fi STEREO SOUN D
Your VCR can receive and record programmes broadcast in NICAM or IGR sound (the factory
pre-set condition for NICAM is AUTO). NICAM or IGR 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.

NOTES:
• 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 or IGR sound. In this case the VCR automatically
switches to receive the mono signal.
