Caution After a Power Failure 
If a power failure lasting for more than 5 seconds occurs, reset the clock and perform the "AUTO 
CHANNEL SETTING" found in the "INITIAL SET-UP" menu. 

Choose between hi-fi and linear modes, depending on your needs. 
HIFI is the preferred setting because it works for all tapes whether they were recorded in hi-fi or linear 
modes.  If the audio sounds distorted or unusual or there is no audio, try the LINEAR option. 
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. 

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). 

Choose between hi-fi and linear modes, depending on your needs. 
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.
