Michelle,

As I mentioned in my previous message, the system I worked with used 
sound beeps on a separate track. To elaborate, the beep track was 
cabled directly into the fader box which controlled the projectors and 
told them when to switch slides while the single narration/music track 
went via a Y shaped splitter cable directly into the two theaters 
speakers. As a result of this, no stereo which requires left and right 
tracks, and no separate narration and music tracks could be on the 
final cassette because the sound in the show was coming from a single 
track.
