Depending on the modulator they used, if any, they either operated on ch 3, 4, or 5, 6. The modulator was an optional accessory.


I've got several U-Matic machines. Mostly Sony, but also have a couple of JVC units.

I started recording things with them in 1975, and still have a few things recorded from TV back then.

I got my FIRST stereo movie on 3/4" tape years before broadcast stereo TV came along. I just ran the audio through my stereo system.

Your front loader machine is light years newer than my machines. All top loaders.

MOST 3/4" machines record mono on channel 2 by default.
