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 ctvax!uokvax!uok!dwhitney
