Receiving Stereo AndBilingual Programmes
Your recorder is equipped with a Sound-Multiplex decoder (A2) and
a Digital stereo sound decoder (NICAM) making reception of stereo
and bilingual broadcasts possible.
When the channel is changed, the type of broadcast being
received will be displayed on the TV screen for a few seconds.
To Record Stereo AndBilingual 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.
●To listen to a stereo programme, press AUDIO until
"HIFI L R" appears on the screen.
●To listen to a bilingual programme, press AUDIO until
"HIFI L " or "HIFI R" appears on the screen (as required).
●To listen to the Standard (regular monaural) audio while
receiving a NICAM broadcast, press AUDIO until "NORM"
appears on the screen.
NOTE:

"O.S.D." must be set to "ON" or the on-screen displays will not
