mode, some pictures and sound distortion may occur.
However, this is not a malfunction.

after 5 minutes and return to the stop mode.
• The tape recorded in the EP mode on this VCR cannot be
played back on the other VCR without EP mode function.
• On the other VCR (even with EP mode function), when you
play back the tape recorded in the EP mode, the picture and
the sound may be distorted. However, this is not a
malfunction.
Recording of Stereo or Bilingual
Programmes
1 Recording is automatically made in the stereo or
bilingual mode. This prevents errors in the selection of
the dubbed or the original language.

desired sound mode. (See page 7.)
The NICAM Broadcast System
The VCR is equipped with the NICAM sound system. NICAM
is a 2 channel sound broadcast system to provide either a
high quality stereo sound track or 2 independent MONO
sound tracks, M1 and M2.
NICAM programmes are always accompanied by standard
sound broadcasts and you can select the desired sound with
[AUDIO]
(21)
during playback.
• The NICAM digital stereo sound can only be recorded on the
Hi-Fi audio track.
• When NICAM programme is being received, the indicators
are lit to inform you the type of broadcast. (See page 7.)
• To record the regular sound (ordinary normal sound) on the
FM audio tracks when a NICAM programme is received, set
[MONAURAL] to [ON]. (See page 9.)
• To hear stereo performance connect as shown on page 4 to
a TV or Stereo Amplifier with left and right audio inputs.
Important Note for the NICAM System
When The VCR is switched on, the tuner will automatically
switch to a NICAM broadcast, if NICAM is being transmitted.
At this time the NICAM signal is transmitted on stereo
channels only, since the M1 and M2 formats are not yet
available. Even if the sound track is MONO, the stereo
indicator will appear.
