Additional Operation - VCR part
Hi-Fi Stereo Sound System
Your DVD+VCR will record and play back Hi-Fi stereo
sound. In addition it has a NICAM digital stereo sound
decoder. This allows you to record and play back the
sound in several different ways. Video cassettes record-
ed on your DVD+VCR will have a normal mono audio
track and two VHS Hi-Fi stereo audio tracks. These
stereo tracks allow you to make audio recordings in Hi-
Fi stereo or bilingual mode from a TV broadcast, stereo
audio system, video disc or another Hi-Fi VCR.
Your DVD+VCR's NICAM digital sound decoder

sound, as well as standard stereo NICAM, bilin-
gual and mono sound.
The particular type of sound received or that
recorded will be briefly displayed on the TV screen
for a couple of seconds:
STEREO
Sound is automatically recorded on the Hi-Fi stereo
and mono tracks of the video tape.
BIL NICAM
Both audio channels will be recorded on the Hi-Fi
stereo tracks. The primary language channel (left) will
be recorded on the mono track of the video tape.
MONO
The sound is recorded on the Hi-Fi tracks and the
mono track of the video tape without any separation.
STEREO
Press AUDIO repeatedly until the desired audio

mode appears.
The choice is STEREO, LEFT (left channel),
RIGHT (right channel) and MONO.
In BIL NICAM playback the primary language is
output on the left channel and the secondary lan-
guage is output simultaneously from the right chan-
nel when audio output is set to STEREO.
The primary language will be output from both
channels when the audio setting is MONO.
Please note that when adjusting the tracking control
Hi-Fi stereo sound may revert to MONO.
