Recording stereo and bilingual

The HDD (when "HDD Recording Format"
is set to "Video Mode Off" in the
"Recording" setup (page 111)) and a DVD-
RW (VR mode) or DVD-R (VR mode) can
record both main and sub sounds. You can
switch between main and sub when playing
the disc.
The HDD (when "HDD Recording Format"
is set to "Video Mode On" in the
"Recording" setup (page 111)) and a
DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-RW (Video
mode), or DVD-R (Video mode) can record
only one sound track (main or sub) at a time.
Before recording starts, set "Bilingual
Recording" to "A/L" (default) or "B/R" in
the "Audio In" setup (page 107).
About HDD Recording format, see
page 111.
ZWEITON (German stereo) system

programme is received, "L," "R," or "L+R"
appears.
NICAM system
To record a NICAM programme, be sure to
set "NICAM Select" to "NICAM" (default)
in the "Audio In" setup. If the sound is not
clear when listening to NICAM broadcasts,
set "NICAM Select" to "Standard"
(page 106).

Creating chapters in a title

recording (a title) into chapters by inserting
chapter marks. To select chapter mark
intervals or disable this function, see "Auto
Chapter (HDD/VR)," "Auto Chapter
(Video)," or "Auto Chapter (DVD+R/
