Your DVD+VCR will record and playback Hi-Fi stereo
sound. In addition it has a stereo NICAM digital stereo
sound decoder. This allows you to record and playback
the sound in several different ways. Video cassettes
recorded on your DVD+VCR will have a normal mono
audio track and two VHS Hi-Fi stereo audio tracks.
These stereo tracks allow you to make audio recordings
in Hi-Fi stereo or bilingual mode from a TV broadcast,
stereo audio system, video disc or another Hi-Fi VCR.

allows you to enjoy broadcasts with NICAM sound,
as well as standard stereo, bilingual and mono
sound. The particular type of sound received or that
