Receiving NICAM Stereo And Bilingual Programmes

Your recorder is equipped with a Digital stereo sound decoder (NICAM), making reception of stereo and bilingual broadcasts possible.

When the recorder is tuned to a different station, the type of broadcast being received will be displayed on the TV screen for a few seconds.

NICAM Monaural	NICAM

●To listen to a stereo programme, press AUDIO until "" and "" appear on the front display panel or "HI FI L R" appears on the screen.

●To listen to a bilingual programme, press AUDIO until either "" or "" appears on the front display panel or "HI FI L " or "HI FI 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 front display panel or on the screen.

NOTES:

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

●Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a bilingual programme, refer to "Soundtrack Selection" (See below).

●"O.S.D." must be set to "ON" or the on-screen displays will not appear (☞ pg. 47).

Soundtrack Selection

Your video recorder is capable of recording three soundtracks (HI-FI L, HI-FI R and NORM) and will play back the one you select.

During Playback

Pressing AUDIO on the remote control changes the soundtrack being played back as follows:

TRACK				USE

		HI FI		For sub audio of Bilingual tapes
			R
