- If you read above he said it is ok when he watches cable TV. Actually
- I just noticed that myself. I had started writing this to say that
- I watch TV through cable and all the surround sound is fine.
- Recording is fine too. Actually my VCR is a Sharp MTS stereo HiFi VCR
- which I have had for 3 years. Could be the same one. Now I'm
- having a problem with mine. (I think I'll write a new article about
- the problem).
