[net.audio] HI-FI VCR QUESTION

jmd@aluxe.UUCP (Joseph M. Dakes, AT&T Bell Labs, Reading, Pa.) (12/10/84)

My roommate is looking for a HI-FI VCR.  He has a Sony Beta HI-FI in mind.  I
don't know which model.  Anyway, I asked him why he chose to buy a Beta HI-FI
instead of a VHS HI-FI.  He stated a few reasons but one in particular I have
to question.  He desires to use the VCR to record albums which he insists can
not be done with a VHS HI-FI.  Can a VHS HI-FI be used to record just audio
without a video signal present?  If not, why not?  This article is not intended
to discuss which VCR format is better because no matter which type he buys I
GET TO USE IT!  Please mail responses to me.
