You can make optimum use of available audio by pressing I/II button of remote control. Audio can be switched only if receiving NICAM and sound multiplex signals; otherwise, pressing this button will have no effect, such as when only mono sound is received.
These can be divided into two main categories: Bilingual/Dual Sound broadcast and Stereo broadcast.
Bilingual/Dual Sound broadcast
Bilingual broadcast is the broadcast available on the main and sub languages, while dual sound broadcast is available on the primary and secondary sounds; for example, some sports programs contain broadcast commentary on a game as primary sound, and a commentary about a team as the secondary.
When bilingual program is received, sound mode display appears in yellow as shown. Also, when receiving NICAM signals, NICAM display will appear.
Each time I/II button is pressed, the display is switched in the sequence of following.
