•In VR mode (excluding FINE/MN32 recordings), both channels of a bilingual broadcast are recorded. If SAP is selected then both SAP and mono channels are recorded.

•In Video mode, or if the recording mode is FINE/ MN32, only one channel of a bilingual broadcast is recorded. In this case, decide which language/audio program you want to record before recording by setting the Bilingual Recording setting (see Bilingual Recording on page 79). For a SAP broadcast, select the channel you want to record (Mono, SAP or Stereo).

Basic playback

This section shows you how to use your recorder for playback of discs (DVD, CD, etc.). More playback features, such as repeat and program play, are covered in the next chapter.

Important

•Throughout this manual, the term ‘DVD’ means playback-only DVD-Video discs and DVD-R/RW. If a function is specific to a particular kind of DVD disc, it is specified.

•Some DVD-Video discs don’t allow certain playback controls to operate at certain points in the disc. This is not a malfunction.
