    Choose the correct word(s) for each word set:

    Hi, I'm Phire, and my VCR puts out (mono / stereo) audio. My TV accepts (mono / stereo) audio. This is when I use (separate plugs for video and audio / one (RF) cord for the connection). The trouble with this is (I can't get stereo from my TV set / my VCR won't record in stereo / fill in your own response here). What should I do?

      When i first saw phire's post i thought it was about mpeg encoding.

      And after reading fluggo99's ironic reply i almost lost it

      Phire if you got a VCR that's only has one sound output then it's a mono.
      then you conect it to the RIGHT sound input.
      And the other way around.

      No cable in the world can combine a stereo input (4 cables, two ground and two active) to a mono (one ground and one signal)and then back.

      If your VCR IS a stereo then it has a DIGITAL output who shouldent work at all with a RRS, RRG, Marvel, G400TV.

      Joint stereo is a MPEG encoding option


      fluggo99 your reply is funny for those who get's the picture but is cruel and (fill in your own) against Phire

        Actually, there are cables that do this also, I bought one on the weekend. Though they aren't called Joint Stereo cables.. They are called Stereo-to-Mono cables which put 1 channel of sound into both channels.. Although its not real stereo it's still better than regular mono. And I know software can accomplish this also.

          Actually, I hadn't meant it to be cruel. I was trying my best to understand what he meant. Honest!

          "Joint stereo" and stereo-to-mono are very different things.

          "Joint stereo" is a term applied to MPEG audio encoding-- it means that both left and right channels are squeezed into the same space. Similarities between the two are used to help compress it more. Normal stereo encoding keeps the two channels separate, which reduces weird encoding noises.

          Stereo-to-mono takes the left and right channels of a stereo signal and mixes them together into one (1) mono signal. Where MPEG's joint stereo encoding can pull the two channels back apart again, you can't do the same to a mono signal. Much like the difference between making a sandwich and using a blender.

          If your VCR or TV has one channel labeled mono (like "Left (Mono)"), use a single cable to attach the two. Otherwise, use your stereo-to-mono cable.

          As far as making one, you've got me. :P
