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 the “Basic” setup to “NICAM” (default). If the sound is not clear when listening to NICAM broadcasts, set “Audio” to “Standard” (see “Channel Setting” on page 57).

You can select the audio (main or sub) while recording bilingual programmes using the AUDIO button. This does not affect the recorded sound.
