Nope, play them with the Dolby switch ON.  If you were to look at
the original boxes, most are marked Hi-Fi stereo, Dolby stereo linear track.

I am assuming that you mean you are using the line out jacks of the VCR
to the line in jacks on the TV.  If you mean MTS TV receiver, nope, no stereo.
Personally, I would use the stereo receiver (which I do) and not the TV
speakers.  Too close together.  Can't tell the stereo when they are only
36" apart.
