Recording stereo and bilingual programmes

In the NICAM system

This VCR receives and records stereo and bilingual programmes based on the NICAM system (NICAM appears on the TV screen). When a stereo or bilingual programme is received, the STEREO indicator appears in the display window.

To record a NICAM programme, “NICAM” in the “USER SET” menu should be set to “On” (initial setting). To check the menu setting, see page 107 for details.
