VIDEO Operation (Continued)

Hi-Fi Stereo Sound System

Your DVD/VCR Receiver will record and play back Hi-Fi stereo sound. In addition it has a NICAM digital stereo sound decoder. This allows you to record and play back the sound in several different ways. Video cassettes recorded on your DVD/VCR Receiver will have a normal mono audio track and two VHS Hi-Fi stereo audio tracks. These stereo tracks allow you to make audio recordings in Hi-Fi stereo or bilingual mode from a TV broadcast, stereo audio system, video disc or another Hi-Fi VIDEO.

1 Your DVD/VCR Receiver’s NICAM digital sound decoder allows you to enjoy broadcasts with NICAM sound, as well as standard stereo NICAM, bilingual and mono sound.

The particular type of sound received or that recorded will be briefly displayed on the TV screen for a couple of seconds:

STEREO

Sound is automatically recorded on the Hi-Fi stereo and mono tracks of the video tape.

BIL NICAM

Both audio channels will be recorded on the Hi-Fi stereo tracks. The primary language channel (left) will be recorded on the mono track of the video tape.

MONO

The sound is recorded on the Hi-Fi tracks and the mono track of the video tape without any separation.

STEREO

2 Press AUDIO repeatedly until the desired audio mode appears.

The choice is STEREO, LEFT (left channel), RIGHT (right channel) and MONO.

In BIL NICAM playback the primary language is output on the left channel and the secondary language is output simultaneously from the right channel when audio output is set to STEREO.

The primary language will be output from both channels when the audio setting is MONO.

Please note that when adjusting the tracking control Hi-Fi stereo sound may revert to MONO.

Note

If the quality of stereo sound being received is poor, the broadcast is automatically received in monaural with better quality.

Still, if the quality of the sound is poor, set NIC in the main menu to OFF (see page 15). NICAM broadcasts will be detected.
