Hi-Fi Audio Recording Level Control

Your recorder allows manual adjustment of the Hi-Fi audio recording level. Normally the preset audio recording level is satisfactory, but if the sound you are going to record is too loud or too low, adjust the audio recording level while referring to the recorder's audio level meters.

Receiving Stereo And Bilingual Programmes

Your recorder is equipped with a Sound-Multiplex decoder (A2) and, if you own the HR-S8500EH, a Digital stereo sound decoder (NICAM) as well, 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.

NOTE:

"O.S.D." must be set to "ON" or the on-screen displays will not appear (☞ pg. 10).

To Record Stereo And Bilingual 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 Record NICAM Stereo And Bilingual Programmes (HR-S8500EH only)

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

NOTE:

Noise will increase if the recording level is too low, while distortion will increase if the level is too high.

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. 17).
