Multichannel TV Sound (MTS)
This unit is equipped with the MTS (Multi-channel TV
Sound) system which decodes stereo and SAP (Second
Audio Program) broadcasting signals. It also decodes the
stereo TV sound of the local CATV system if it satisfies the
assigned cable frequencies and EIA-recommended MTS
stereo/bilingual TV sound system.
It can record and play back the audio signal in the VHS Hi-Fi
audio sound system.
Second Audio Program (SAP)
This unit can record and play back a Second Audio Program
(SAP) for the second language or additional information.
Usually primary language is recorded on the primary sound
channel, and the second language or additional information
is recorded on the SAP channel.
Audio track system
This unit records a regular monaural audio signal on the
normal audio track, and stereo Hi-Fi audio signal on the Hi-
Fi audio track.
If you use the unit equipped with the VHS Hi-Fi audio sound
system to play back the tape recorded on this unit, you can
enjoy stereo Hi-Fi sound or bilingual program. If you use the
unit not equipped with the VHS Hi-Fi audio sound system,
only a regular audio sound recorded on a normal audio track
