Your video recorder receives and records the digital
NICAM sound broadcast by some channels in Europe.
This sound remains compatible with the analogue
stereo sound system broadcast in the other European
countries.

The broadcast sound types are different from channel to channel. The current sound type is indicated
by the display. It can be: mono (
L
), stereo (
i
), bilingual (1 2).
Your video recorder uses 3 tracks to record the sound:
- two Hi-Fi tracks for stereo or bilingual sound (track 1 and 2),
- one normal track for mono sound or track 1 for a bilingual telecast.
Depending on the actual sound type of the TV channel (stereo, NICAM or mono), the video recorder
will distribute the sound on these different tracks.
