● Bilingual programmes are automatically recorded in bilingual on the Hi-Fi audio track. The main soundtrack will be recorded on the normal audio track.
To Record NICAM Stereo and Bilingual
Programmes
The NICAM audio programme will be recorded on the Hi-Fi audio track, and the standard audio programme will be recorded on the normal audio track.
NOTES:
● If the quality of stereo sound being received is poor, the broadcast will be received in monaural with better quality.
● Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a bilingual programme, refer to “Soundtrack Selection” on page 36.
