NICAM/IGR Hi-Fi STEREO SOUND
Your VCR can receive and record programmes broadcast in NICAM or IGR sound (the factory
pre-set condition for NICAM is AUTO). NICAM or IGR sound may not be stereo, this depends
on the programme being received.
Audio is automatically recorded in two different ways:
(i) Hi-Fi: Using specialised rotary heads, two audio signals are recorded on to the tape. These
will be stereo, mono or bilingual depending on the sound being received.
(ii) Normal: A mono recording is also made on the conventional analogue audio track.

NOTES:
•
If the tape being played back does not carry sound recorded on Hi-Fi tracks, L and R
will not appear on the display.
•
lf the sound contains ‘crackling’ or ‘popping’ noises the sound quality may be
improved by adjusting the tracking using CHANNEL
/
.
•
If the poor quality is for a long period the VCR will automatically select the mono track
and the sound will be in mono.
•
Not all TV transmitters provide NICAM or IGR sound. In this case the VCR automatically
switches to receive the mono signal.
•
NICAM sound may not be stereo.
