5 Press the GUIDE button to end the setting.
6 Follow the Step 1 through 5 on "Basic Recording Steps" on pages 30 and 31.
Stereo vs. mono sound
When you select the STEREO option in the initial setup operation, your VCR records in
stereo any station that broadcasts stereo sounds. When a TV channel broadcasts in
stereo, you'll see a stereo indicator on the TV screen.
Set to MONO if the stereo signal is weak and the sound is too "noisy".
Note: When you select MONO, sound is recorded as mono even when a channel broadcasts
in stereo.

The Instant Recording Timer (REC/IRT button on the VCR) will let you make a

the IRT properly the clock must be set before starting.

button.
