A new magazine, VIDEO & SOUND (proclaiming themselves as a "high fidelity" publication -- and in my estimate they are) has run an excellent, concise article addressing this question in Vol 2. (No date on the cover). The article describes NTSC format and how BETA/VHS formats represent this on tape and how each accomodates Hi-Fi stereo. I bought this magazine at a local drug store, so it is probably available where you are. -fitz nlm-vax
