- My Christmas present to myself was an RCA that has all these features,
- including (5). I suppose (3) is a matter of opinion, but the quality is at
- least as good as the one on my 1984 Hitachi TV, and easier to use. This VCR
- also has stereo and SAP, on-screen programming with a Help button, and slow
- motion. I got it for $300 on sale at a department store. Send me E-mail if
- you want the model number. For my birthday, maybe I'll get myself a stereo to
- connect to it.
-
- Meanwhile, is it possible to connect the audio outputs of the VCR to the
- microphone input of an old stereo that doesn't have line inputs? Do such mike
- inputs pick up in stereo?
-
- Finally, does anyone have a copy of a long article on surround sound I saw here
- a year or two ago?
