MY question is, is it compatable with Beta HiFi?

Ya know, when I wrote that I thought about that same question.  I don't
remember the articles saying anything about Beta Hi-Fi.  BUT, you could
probably bet your bottom dollar that Sony would not build a better video
and leave out the better audio.  I will keep an eye and ear open for info.
