• If the NICAM audio setting (see
NICAM Select
on
page 107) is set to
NICAM
and you are watching a
NICAM broadcast, you can switch between
NICAM
and
Regular
(non-NICAM) audio.
• If the NICAM broadcast is bilingual, you can also
select the language.
• You can also select the language for a non-NICAM
bilingual broadcast.
• When watching a recording made from an external
input with
Bilingual
recording selected (see
External
Audio
on page 107), you can switch the audio
channel between left (
L
), right (
R
) or both (
L+R
).
Note
• When recording to the HDD, or in Video mode, or in
VR mode using the
FINE
/
MN32
setting, only one
channel of a bilingual broadcast is recorded. In this
case, decide which language you want to record
before recording by setting the Bilingual Recording
setting (see
Bilingual Recording
on page 108).
Switching between TV and DVD
When the system is stopped or recording you can choose
whether to have the audio/video from the built-in TV tuner
(or external input) play on your TV (‘DVD mode’), or watch
the channel that the TV is currently set to (‘TV mode’).
During playback or when a menu is being displayed on-
screen, the sound and video is always routed to your TV
and is unaffected by the
TV/DVD
mode setting.
Note that the system must be connected to your TV using
a SCART cable to be able to use this feature.
•
Press SHIFT and TV/DVD to switch between TV
mode and DVD mode.
Basic playback
This section shows you how to use your system for
playback of discs (DVD, CD, etc.), and for playback of
video from the HDD. More playback features, such as
repeat and program play, are covered in the next chapter.
Important
• Throughout this manual, the term ‘DVD’ means
playback-only DVD-Video discs and DVD-R/RW. If a
function is specific to a particular kind of DVD disc, it
is specified.
• Some DVD-Video discs don’t allow certain playback
controls to operate at certain points in the disc. This
is not a malfunction.
