Receiving Stereo And
Bilingual Programmes
Your recorder is equipped with a Sound-Multiplex decoder (A2)
and, if you own the HR-S8500EH, a Digital stereo sound
decoder (NICAM) as well, making reception of stereo and
bilingual broadcasts possible.
When the channel is changed, the type of broadcast being
received will be displayed on the TV screen for a few seconds.
To Record Stereo And
Bilingual Programmes (A2)
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.
To listen to a stereo programme, press AUDIO until " " and
" " appear on the front display panel or "HIFI L R"
appears on the screen.
To listen to a bilingual programme, press AUDIO until " " or
" " appears on the front display panel, or "HIFI L " or

Hi-Fi Audio Recording Level
Control
Your recorder allows manual adjustment of the Hi-Fi audio
recording level. Normally the preset audio recording level is
satisfactory, but if the sound you are going to record is too loud
or too low, adjust the audio recording level while referring to
the recorder's audio level meters.
