•NICAM Select – If you want to record the non-NICAM audio in a TV broadcast, select Regular Audio, otherwise set to NICAM. (When set to NICAM, you can still select Regular Audio using the AUDIO button. See Changing audio channels on page 21.)

•Tuner Level – Set to Compression if the audio level from the built-in tuner is excessively high causing distortion.

•External Audio – Select Stereo if the external audio input is regular stereo, or Bilingual if each channel carries a separate soundtrack.

•Bilingual Rec – When recording a bilingual source from an external input in Video mode or VR mode set to XP, you can choose to record either the A/L (left), or the B/R (right) audio channel.

Note

•Except in XP recording mode, if you’re recording in VR mode, both channels will be recorded and you can switch them as you like on playback.

•DTS – If your AV receiver, etc. has a built-in DTS decoder, set to On, otherwise set to Off. (See also Important below.)

•MPEG – If your AV receiver, etc. is MPEG audio compatible, set to MPEG, otherwise set to MPEG -> PCM.

Important

•If you set DTS to On with a non-DTS compatible amplifier, noise will be output when you play a DTS disc.

•When set to On, there is no analog audio output when playing a DTS DVD-Video disc.

•When playing a DTS audio CD (even when DTS is Off), noise is output from the analog outputs. Do not play this through your amplifier and speakers.

•When playing a DTS audio CD, make sure that Stereo is selected using the AUDIO button. See Switching DVD soundtracks on page 31.

On the default setting, if a timer program (Standard or G- Code programming system) is set but there isn’t enough space on the disc at the recording quality set, the recording will start, but it will be cut off when the disc is full.

Set Optimized Rec to On to have the recorder automatically adjust the recording quality to fit the available disc space.
