NICAM Hi-Fi STEREO SOUND
Your VCR can receive and record programmes broadcast in NICAM sound (the factory preset condition for NICAM is AUTO). NICAM sound may not be stereo, this depends on the
programme being received.
Audio is automatically recorded in two different ways:
(i) Hi-Fi: Using specialised rotary heads, two audio signals are recorded on to the tape. These
will be stereo, mono or bilingual depending on the sound being received.
(ii) Normal: A mono recording is also made on the conventional analogue audio track.

NOTES:
• If the tape being played back does not carry sound recorded on Hi-Fi tracks, L and R
will not appear on the display.
• lf the sound contains ‘crackling’ or ‘popping’ noises the sound quality may be
improved by adjusting the tracking using CHANNEL / .
• If the poor quality is for a long period the VCR will automatically select the mono track
and the sound will be in mono.
• Not all TV transmitters provide NICAM sound. In this case the VCR automatically
switches to receive the mono signal.
• NICAM sound may not be stereo.
