Stereo recording and playback

VCR
This VCR/DVD is capable of recording
Hi-Fi quality sound. When recording on
a video cassette, a broadcast which is
transmitted in NICAM Stereo normally
records to the HiFi audio tracks - the
normal Mono FM audio signal is
recorded to the mono audio track on the
cassette. The NICAM stereo reception
can be switched off if required, but
normally you would leave this on the
Automatic setting (See page 26). When a
bilingual broadcast is received, both
soundtracks will be recorded (when
recording to cassette only). However,
bilingual broadcasts are not usually
transmitted in the UK.
NICAM programmes are divided
into 4 types as shown below.

NOTE:
When playing HiFi cassette tapes recorded on another VCR,
the sound output may be distorted. This is normal and no
indication of a unit malfunction. Try to minimise sound
distortions by using TRK (TRACKING) +/– or change to
MONO by pressing of AUDIO SELECT.
Output selection for DVD
You can switch between the left or right channel and stereo
only when playing a disc on which a bilingual broadcast was
recorded in the DVD-RW VR mode. It is not possible to
switch between channels otherwise as only the channel
selected in the setting of NICAM (AUTOMATIC or OFF) is
recorded in the DVD-RW Video mode or DVD-R (see page
25).
