Recording NICAM/IGR Multiplex Broadcasts

This Product is capable of receiving NICAM multiplex broadcasts (PAL-I, B/G, D/K) and IGR multiplex broad-

casts (PAL-B/G, D/K). NICAM multiplex broadcasts will be recorded in stereo/bilingual when the NICAM setting on the OSD’s MODE is set to AUTO. For information on how to carry out NICAM setting (See “Mode Selection” on page 25). IGR multiplex broadcasts will be recorded on stereo/bilingual. (The AUTO/OFF setting will not function.) This Product automatically records on two types of audio track.

Hi-Fi track:

Special rotary heads will be used to record an audio signal deep in the video track in Hi-Fi. Multiplex broad- casts fall into “stereo” and “bilingual” broadcasts and they will be automatically recorded on their respective tracks.

Normal track:

Conventional analogue audio is always recorded on the normal track (mono sound) regardless of whether your Product is receiving a multiplex broadcasts or not.

•There are tapes, though small in number, which have a normal track that has been divided into two tracks. On such tapes, stereo as well as bilingual audio are recorded on the normal track. If such a tape is played back on your Product, the tape’s stereo sound will be reproduced in monaural and its bilingual in both languages combined.

•When a cassette tape on which a NICAM multiplex broadcast has been recorded in stereo or bilingual mode is played back by a VCR that is not a Hi-Fi VCR, only the sound on the normal track will be reproduced.

•When you select “OFF” for NICAM in the OSD MODE, the stereo and bilingual audio of a NICAM multiplex broadcast will be fixed to the normal sound.
