VIDEO Operation (Continued)
Hi-Fi Stereo Sound System
Your DVD/VCR Receiver 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 recorded on your DVD/VCR Receiver 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 VIDEO.

Your DVD/VCR Receiver’s NICAM digital sound
decoder allows you to enjoy broadcasts with
NICAM sound, as well as standard stereo
NICAM, bilingual 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:

Both audio channels will be recorded on the Hi-Fi
