Explanation

AV1 Out

Video •

Sets the AV1 (RGB)-TVSCART output to standard composite video

 

 

(compatible with all TVs).

 

 

 

 

S-Video

Sets the AV1 (RGB)-TVSCART output to S-video. Recommended if you are

 

 

using a long SCART cable.

 

 

 

 

RGB

Sets the AV1 (RGB)-TVSCART output to RGB. Good quality but check your

 

 

TV for compatibility. Note that on this setting signals from the built-in tuner

 

 

and from external inputs is not output when the recorder is in TV mode.

If you choose a setting that is incompatible with your TV you may not be able to see any picture at all. In this case either switch off and reconnect using the supplied video cable, or reset the recorder (see Resetting the recorder on page 161).

The Component Video Out setting (see page 139) has no effect when AV1 Out is set to RGB.

When the HDMI signal is output, the AV1 Out outputs the composite video signal even when it is set to RGB.

AV2/L1 In

Video •

Sets the AV2 (INPUT 1/DECODER) SCART input to standard composite

 

 

video.

 

 

 

 

S-Video

Sets the AV2 (INPUT 1/DECODER) SCART input to S-video.

 

 

 

 

RGB

Sets the AV2 (INPUT 1/DECODER) SCART input to RGB.

 

 

 

 

Decoder

Use this setting if you connected a decoder to the AV2 (INPUT 1/DECODER)

 

 

SCART connector. For scrambled channels, make sure that the channel

 

 

Decoder setting is set to On. (See Manual CH Setting on page 139.)

 

 

 

NTSC on PAL TV

On •

NTSC discs will play correctly on PAL-only TVs.

 

 

 

 

Off

Use if your TV is already NTSC-compatible.

Many recent PAL TVs are compatible with NTSC input and so this setting can be switched off. Check the operating instructions that came with your TV. See also About NTSC on PAL TV on page 146 for related information.

Audio In

NICAM Select

NICAM •

Record the NICAM audio in a NICAM broadcast.

 

 

 

 

Regular Audio

Record the non-NICAM audio in a NICAM broadcast. (You can still switch

 

 

the audio to record using the AUDIO button before recording.)

 

 

 

Analog Tuner Level

Normal •

Standard setting.

 

 

 

 

Compression

Use if the audio level from the built-in tuner is excessive, causing distortion.

 

 

 

External Audio

Stereo •

Select if the audio from the currently selected external input is standard

 

 

stereo.

 

 

 

 

Bilingual

Select if each channel carries a separate soundtrack.

When the external audio is from the DV input, an audio subcode channel within the DV audio tells the recorder whether the audio is stereo or bilingual. This has priority over the setting you make here.

Bilingual Recording A/L •

Record the left (A) channel of a bilingual source when recording to HDD

 

 

with HDD Recording Format set to Video Mode On, to DVD-R/-RW (Video

 

 

mode) or DVD+R/+RW or in LPCM mode, from an external source.

 

 

 

 

B/R

As above, but for right (B) channel recording.

When recording bilingual audio to DVD in VR mode (except in LPCM mode), or to HDD with HDD Recording Format set to Video Mode Off (except in LPCM mode), both audio channels are recorded and you can switch to the one you want on playback.

DV Input

Stereo 1 •

Select to use the ‘live’ audio track (recorded during the video shoot) from a

 

 

camcorder that supports two stereo audio tracks.

 

 

 

 

Stereo 2

Select to use the overdubbed audio track from a camcorder that supports

 

 

two stereo audio tracks.

 

 

 

 

Mix

Select one of the three settings to use a mix of the two stereo audio tracks.
