Note
• Channel presets are numbered 1–99.
• You can’t change TV channels during playback or
recording, or while in recording standby.

Changing audio channels

You can change the audio channel of the broadcast or
external input signal.
Press AUDIO to change the audio.
The current audio channel is displayed on-screen.
If the NICAM audio setting (see
NICAM Select
on
page 83) is set to
NICAM
and you are watching a
NICAM broadcast, you can switch between
NICAM
and
Regular
(non-NICAM) audio.
• If the NICAM broadcast is bilingual, you can also
select the language.
• You can also select the language for a non-NICAM
bilingual broadcast.
• When watching a recording made from an external
input with
Bilingual
recording selected (see
External
Audio
on page 83), you can switch the audio channel
between left (
L
), right (
R
) or both (
L+R
).
Note
When recording in Video mode, or in VR mode using
the
FINE
/
MN32
setting, only one channel of a
bilingual broadcast is recorded. In this case, decide
which language you want to record before recording
by setting the Bilingual Recording setting (see
Bilingual Recording
on page 84).

Switching between TV and DVD

When the recorder is stopped or recording you can
choose whether to have the audio/video from the built-in
TV tuner (or external input) play on your TV (‘DVD mode’),
or watch the channel that the TV is currently set to (‘TV
mode’).
During playback or when a menu is being displayed on-
screen, the sound and video is always routed to your TV
and is unaffected by the
TV/DVD
mode setting.
Note that the recorder must be connected to your TV
using a SCART cable to be able to use this feature.
Press TV/DVD to switch between TV mode and
DVD mode.
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.
