The NICAM audio programme will be recorded on the Hi-Fi

Stereo programmes are automatically recorded in stereo on
the Hi-Fi audio track (with the normal audio track recording
mixed L and R channel sound).
Bilingual programmes are automatically recorded in bilingual
on the Hi-Fi audio track. The main soundtrack will be recorded
on the normal audio track.
NOTES:
If the quality of stereo sound being received is poor, the
broadcast will be received in monaural with better quality.
Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a
bilingual programme, refer to "Soundtrack Selection" (
pg. 13).
