Well, my Sanyo 7200 Beta Hifi unit has is selectable between what
they call "stereo" and "Beta Hifi".  This leads me to believe (perhaps
incorrectly) that this unit has two audio heads, one for each channel
(plus Beta Hifi on the video track, of course).  If this is indeed
correct, then perhaps the copy of Blade Runner which you tried to
watch was indeed in stereo as labeled, but not Beta Hifi.  Does anyone
else know more about this?

As for the logic of selling a mono-only version of a movie, I can see
where if a company thought that they could make more money by selling
a seperate Beta Hifi version of the movie at a higher price than the mono
version then they might so it.
