Receiving Stereo And Bilin- gual Programmes

To listen to a stereo programme, press AUDIO MONITOR until “L” and “R” appear on the front display panel.

To listen to a bilingual programme, press AUDIO MONITOR until either “L” or “R” appears on the front display panel (as required).

To listen to the Standard (regular monaural) audio while receiving a NICAM broadcast, press AUDIO MONITOR until “NORM” appears on the front display panel. (A637EH only)

To Record Stereo And Bilin- gual Programmes (A2)

Stereo programmes are automatically recorded in stereo on the Hi-Fi audio track (with the normal audio track recording mixed L and R channel sound).

Bilingual programmes are automatically recorded in bilingual on the Hi-Fi audio track. The main soundtrack 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” (pg. 12)

To Record NICAM Stereo And Bilingual Programmes (A637EH only)

The NICAM audio programme will be recorded on the Hi-Fi audio track, and the Standard audio programme on the normal audio track.
