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, you can select the sound track before
recording. Select “Main,” “Sub,” or “Main+Sub”
in “HDD Bilingual Rec.” of “Options” setup
(page 90).
A DVD+RW, DVD-RW (Video mode), DVD+R,
or DVD-R can record only one sound track (main
or sub) at a time. Select the sound track using the
Setup Display before recording starts. Set “DVD
Bilingual Rec.” to “Main” (default) or “Sub” in
“Options” setup (page 90).
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 80).
