Recording stereo and bilingual
programmes
The recorder automatically receives and records
stereo and bilingual programmes based on the
ZWEITON system or the NICAM system.
The HDD and a DVD-RW (VR mode) can record
both main and sub sounds. You can switch
between main and sub when playing the disc. For
the HDD, select the soundtrack before recording.
Select “Main,” “Sub,” or “Main+Sub” in “HDD
Bilingual Rec.” of “Options” setup (page 103).
A DVD+RW, DVD-RW (Video mode), DVD+R,
or DVD-R can record only one soundtrack (main
or sub) at a time. Select the soundtrack using the
Setup Display before recording starts. Set “DVD
Bilingual Rec.” to “Main” (default) or “Sub” in
“Options” setup (page 103).
ZWEITON (German stereo) system
When a stereo based programme is received,
“Stereo” appears.
When a bilingual ZWEITON based programme is
received, “Main,” “Sub,” or “Main/Sub” appears.
NICAM system
When a stereo or bilingual NICAM based
programme is received, “NICAM” appears in the
front panel display.
To record a NICAM programme, be sure to set
“Audio” of “Channel Setting” in “Settings” setup
to “NICAM” (default). If the sound is not clear
when listening to NICAM broadcasts, set “Audio”
to “Standard” (see “Channel Setting” on page 90).

Hint
You can select the audio (main or sub) while recording
bilingual programmes using the
(audio) button.
This does not affect the recorded sound.

When the recorder receives a copy guard signal,
the recorder continues to record but only a blank,
grey screen will be recorded.
