or was "off the air" at the time of programming. Or you may change your
mind about a channel you removed from memory.
To Add or Erase Channels

you want to change, then press STOP to delete it or press PLAY to add it.
Choosing a Mode for Audio Playback
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.
Stereo vs. Mono Sound
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 of noise).
Hi-Fi Sound
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.
