NICAM (Near Instantaneous Companded Audio Multiplex) digital audio.

The digital signal broadcast together with the existing sound and pictures of terrestrial television are decoded by this receiver to enable high quality stereo sound to be reproduced with advantages similar to those of compact discs. i. e. extended dynamic range and channel separation with low noise and low distortion. These are considerable benefits compared with the current standard system. The digital channel separation will allow the Broadcasters to transmit dual languages as an alternative feature after the service is established.

You will be able to take full advantage of this exciting new facility. The increase in overall realism and ambience created by this new dimension in television sound will bring increased viewing enjoyment to all forms of programme material-to sport as well as the more obvious advantages to all forms of musical entertainment.

In the absence of NICAM signals or if the NICAM signal becomes extremely weak, the receiver will select the standard system automatically.

The standard signal can also be chosen by selecting the mono mode using the appropriate IMC on-screen graphics display. This is known as forced mono.
