"snowy", or even disappear.
• To remove minor contamination run a video tape in visual search mode. If this fails, you
will need to have the heads cleaned by a SHARP Service Facility. Please note, if cleaning
is necessary it is not covered by the guarantee.
• Use video tapes which carry the mark.

AUDIO AND YOUR VCR (HI-FI VCR’S ONLY)
HI-FI STEREO SOUND
Stereo sound is possible from this VCR if you have a stereo TV connected to the VCR with a
scart lead, or audio equipment connected with audio phono leads. The VCR is normally set
so that stereo sound is possible. The sound output from the VCR is controlled by the
AUDIO OUT button on the remote control. If you wish to change the sound output you can
use the AUDIO OUT button as follows:
• Press AUDIO OUT once. The LEFT audio channel will be sent to BOTH speakers. L will
appear on the VCR display.
• Press AUDIO OUT twice. The RIGHT audio channel will be sent to BOTH speakers. R will
appear on the VCR display.
• Press AUDIO OUT three times. The MONO track will be sent to BOTH speakers. Land R
will disappear from the VCR display.
• Pressing AUDIO OUT a fourth time, normal Hi-Fi stereo sound will be heard. L and Rwill
appear on the VCR display.
IGR HI-FI STEREO SOUND
Your VCR can receive and record IGR sound. The VCR is normally set so that IGR sound is
possible if it is present on the receiving signal, otherwise the VCR will automatically switch to
receive the mono signal.
NOTES:
• If the tape being played back does not carry sound recorded on Hi-Fi tracks, Land R
will not appear on the display.
• lf the sound contains ‘crackling’ or ‘popping’ noises the sound quality may be
improved by adjusting the tracking using CHANNEL K/L.
• If the poor quality is for a long period the VCR will automatically select the mono track
and the sound will be in mono.
