Recording stereo and bilingual programmes

The recorder automatically receives and records stereo and bilingual programmes based on the ZWEITON system or the NICAM system.

The HDD and a DVD-RW (VR mode) can record both main and sub sounds. You can switch between main and sub when playing the disc. For the HDD, select the soundtrack before recording. Select “Main,” “Sub,” or “Main+Sub” in “HDD Bilingual Rec.” of “Options” setup (page 103).

ADVD+RW, DVD-RW (Video mode), DVD+R, or DVD-R can record only one soundtrack (main or sub) at a time. Select the soundtrack using the Setup Display before recording starts. Set “DVD Bilingual Rec.” to “Main” (default) or “Sub” in “Options” setup (page 103).

ZWEITON (German stereo) system

When a stereo based programme is received, “Stereo” appears.

When a bilingual ZWEITON based programme is received, “Main,” “Sub,” or “Main/Sub” appears.

NICAM system

When a stereo or bilingual NICAM based programme is received, “NICAM” appears in the front panel display.

To record a NICAM programme, be sure to set “Audio” of “Channel Setting” in “Settings” setup to “NICAM” (default). If the sound is not clear when listening to NICAM broadcasts, set “Audio” to “Standard” (see “Channel Setting” on page 90).

zHint

You can select the audio (main or sub) while recording

bilingual programmes using the (audio) button. This does not affect the recorded sound.
