This question may already have been addressed here, so please forgive if
this is a repeat.

Having recently gained a certain amount of interest in the VCRs with greater
sound capabilities, I am now thoroughly confused regarding the distinction
which is painstakingly made by the various VCR manufacturers between
a "STEREO" unit and a "HI-FI" unit.  I thought the difference was merely
a marketing ploy; now, I've come across those who tell me that the two
audio formats are incompatible, that the stereo movies I have purchased
will not reproduce stereo in a HI-FI recorder system.  Others have siad
that there is no such problem.  What, in a nutshell, is the difference??.

Although I would appreciate any input, my recorders (and any subsequent
purchase of a hi-fi/stereo VCR) would be of the VHS format.

Thanks in advance

David Whitney
