Receiving NICAM Stereo
And Bilingual Programmes
Your recorder is equipped with a Digital stereo sound
decoder (NICAM), making reception of stereo and
bilingual broadcasts possible.
When the recorder is tuned to a different station, the type
of broadcast being received will be displayed on the TV
screen for a few seconds.
● To listen to a stereo programme, press AUDIO until
"HI FI L R" appears on the screen.
● To listen to a bilingual programme, press AUDIO until
"HI FI L " or "HI FI R" appears on the screen (as
required).
● To listen to the Standard (regular monaural) audio while
receiving a NICAM broadcast, press AUDIO until
"NORM" appears on the front display panel or on the
screen.
NOTES:
●
The NICAM audio programme will be recorded on the
Hi-Fi audio track, and the Standard audio programme on
the normal audio track.
●
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" (See
below).
●
"O.S.D." must be set to "ON" or the on-screen displays
will not appear (
