have stereo audio played, choose the main setting (which is the default setting). If you
prefer a mono broadcast, select mono. Some stations and networks broadcast certain
shows with a second audio program (often in a second language or with different
commentary). Select SAP to have the second audio program played for all stations that
you receive. If there is no second audio program, you may hear the main audio
program or you may receive no audio at all, depending on the stations in your area.
Video Recording
Q.~tality
You can increase the time available for video recording on your Recorder much the
same as you can choose "standard play" or "extended play" when using a VCR to tape
a program. The Recorder. however. offers you four levels of video recording quality
instead of just two. The choice you make here will become your defaUlt. You can
always change the video recording quality for particular programs at the time you set
them up to be recorded (on the Program Information screen).
The video recording choices are Best, High. Medium. and Basic. The default is Best.
Basic quality takes up about one-quarter the space of Best quality, and gives you four
times the amount of space for programs. You may wish to experiment with different
levels and then reset your default. The following table gives the approximate recording
capacity at each quality. These numbers are estimates, and apply only if all programs
are recorded at the same quality. For example, if all your programs are recorded at
Basic quality. your 30-hour Recorder has 30 hours of recording space available.
