Note
• When recording in Video mode, or in VR mode using
the FINE/MN32 setting, only one channel of a
bilingual broadcast is recorded. In this case, decide
which language you want to record before recording
by setting the Bilingual Recording setting (see
Bilingual Recording on page 79).
• In VR mode (excluding FINE/MN32 recordings), both
channels of a bilingual broadcast are recorded. If
SAP is selected then both SAP and mono channels
are recorded.
• In Video mode, or if the recording mode is FINE/
MN32, only one channel of a bilingual broadcast is
recorded. In this case, decide which language/audio
program you want to record before recording by
setting the Bilingual Recording setting (see Bilingual
Recording on page 79). For a SAP broadcast, select
the channel you want to record (Mono, SAP or
Stereo).

Basic playback

This section shows you how to use your recorder for
playback of discs (DVD, CD, etc.). More playback
features, such as repeat and program play, are covered in
the next chapter.
Important
• Throughout this manual, the term 'DVD' means
playback-only DVD-Video discs and DVD-R/RW. If a
function is specific to a particular kind of DVD disc, it
is specified.
• Some DVD-Video discs don't allow certain playback
controls to operate at certain points in the disc. This
is not a malfunction.
