You can make optimum use of available audio by pressing
bottom of remote control. Audio can be switched only
if receiving NICAM and sound multiplex signals; otherwise, pressing this button will have no effect, such as when

Bilingual/Dual Sound broadcast
Bilingual broadcast is the broadcast available on the main and sub languages, while dual sound broadcast is
available on the primary and secondary sounds; for example, some sports programs contain broadcast commentary
on a game as primary sound, and a commentary about a team as the secondary.
When bilingual program is received, sound mode display appears in yellow as shown. Also, when receiving NICAM
signals, NICAM display will appear.
Each time
