When you play back a tape that was recorded in 12-bit mode, you can set the audio output to stereo 1 (the original sound), stereo 2 (any new sound, dubbed to the tape after recording), or mix the balance between the two.

• Audio from the 16-bit mode only contains stereo 1 sound and so you cannot/do not need to select the audio mix. The same applies to the 12-bit stereo 1 mode, unless new sound has been added post-recording.

Select the output channel.

• Press AUDIO MONITOR on the wireless controller.

• Starting with the last selected setting, 4 settings appear as you push the button:

• STEREO1 for just stereo 1.

• STEREO2 for just stereo 2.

• MIX/FIXED for an equal mix of stereo 1 and 2.

• MIX/VARI. (mix variable) for when you want to mix the balance between stereo 1 and 2.

• If you choose MIX/VARI., you can go on to mix the balance.

• Use the ST-1/ST-2 buttons to mix the balance. A bar showing the balance appears on the screen for 4 seconds.

Note:

• When you have chosen the output, STEREO1, STEREO2, MIX/FIXED or MIX/VARI. is shown in the top left of the display for a few seconds. If you turn the power off, the output becomes set to STEREO1.

Selecting Audio Output Channels

When you play back a tape whose audio has been recorded on multiple channels, you can change the output channels of that sound.

1. Load a tape recorded with multiple-channel audio.

2. Open the menu and select VCR SET UP. Then select OUTPUT CH, set it to the desired setting and close the menu.

• Refer to the following list.

  OUTPUT CH Setting	Playback Sound
  	Tape Recorded With Stereo Sound	Tape Recorded On Multiple Channels
  L/R	L+R channels	main + sub
  L/L	L channel only	main only
  R/R	R channel only	sub only
