Recording a stereo/SAP program
The recorder can receive and record stereo/SAP
programs.
When recording a digital channel, only the
selected audio can be recorded. When recording
with the timer, "Stream 1" is usually recorded
(page 35).
Stereo programs
When a stereo program is received, the
"STEREO" indicator lights up in the front panel
display. If there is noise in the stereo program,
press AUDIO repeatedly until the "MONO"
appears on the TV screen. The sound will be
recorded in monaural but with less noise.
SAP (Second Audio Program)
When a SAP is received, the "SAP" indicator
lights up in the front panel display. To record only
SAP sound, set "Tuner Audio" of "Audio" to
"SAP" in the "Setup" display (page 99).
