VHS Hi-Fi Stereo System / MTS
Broadcast
The DVD+VCR is equipped with the VHS Hi-Fi audio sound
system for recording and playback. The information below
gives a brief description of Hi-Fi audio and how to record
and play a tape in the Hi-Fi audio mode.
Playback with Hi-Fi Stereo Audio Sound
A stereo TV with AUDIO/VIDEO input jacks or a stereo
audio system is required for correct stereo playback. To
experience the full and rich stereo sound available with Hi-Fi
recorded tapes, we recommend the connection of this unit
to a home stereo audio system.
