This would seem to be a real possibility, since the Hi-Fi tracks are simply placed within the wideband video signal and the same heads are used. (I suspect that this would NOT work with VHS Hi-Fi, since new heads are required to read the "layered" audio tracks.) The only prevention I can think of would be filters in older decks which would affect the frequencies now used for the Hi-Fi information. Has anyone actually tried this?
