Receiving stereo and bilingual programmes

Your recorder is equipped with a Sound-Multiplex decoder (A2) 
and a Digital stereo sound decoder (NICAM) as well, making 
reception of stereo and bilingual broadcasts possible.
When the channel is changed, the type of broadcast being 
received will be displayed on the TV screen for a few seconds.

To listen to a stereo programme, press 

AUDIO

 until “HIFI L 

 

R” appears on the screen.

To listen to a bilingual programme, press 

AUDIO

 until “HIFI L 

” or “HIFI  

R” appears on the screen (as required).

To listen to the Standard (regular monaural) audio while 
receiving a NICAM broadcast, press 

AUDIO

 until “NORM” 

appears on the screen.

NOTE:

“O.S.D.” must be set to “ON” or the on-screen displays will not 
appear (

16)

To record stereo and bilingual programmes (A2)

Stereo programmes are automatically recorded in stereo on the 
Hi-Fi audio track (with the normal audio track recording mixed 
L and R channel sound).

Bilingual programmes are automatically recorded in bilingual 
on the Hi-Fi audio track. The main soundtrack will be  recorded 
on the normal audio track.

To record NICAM stereo and bilingual programmes

The NICAM audio programme is recorded on the Hi-Fi audio 
track, and the standard audio programme on the normal audio 
track.

NOTES:

If the quality of stereo sound being received is poor, the 
broadcast may be received in monaural with better quality.

Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a 
bilingual programme, refer to “Soundtrack selection” (

8).

S-VHS (Super VHS), S-VHS ET or VHS Recording

This VCR can record in S-VHS (Super VHS), S-VHS ET or VHS.

To record in S-VHS: 

Set “S-VHS MODE” to “ON” (

16). Then, insert a cassette 

marked “S-VHS”. The S-VHS indicator lights up on the display 
panel.
The S-VHS recording mode is selected.

To record in S-VHS ET on a VHS cassette:

Set “S-VHS ET” to “ON” (

9). Then, insert a cassette marked 

“VHS”. The S-VHS indicator lights up on the display panel.

To record in VHS:

Insert a cassette marked “VHS”. 
Set “S-VHS ET” to “OFF” (

9).

To record in VHS on a S-VHS cassette:

Insert a cassette marked “S-VHS”. The S-VHS indicator lights up 
on the display panel. Then, set “S-VHS MODE” to “OFF” 
(

16). The S-VHS indicator goes off.

The VHS recording mode is selected.

NOTE:

When playing back a tape that has been recorded in S-VHS or 
S-VHS ET, the S-VHS indicator lights up on the display panel 
regardless of the “S-VHS ET” (

10) or “S-VHS MODE” (

16)

as far as a year in advance. Remember, the clock must be set 
before you can program the timer.

NOTES:

If all the 8 programs have already been set, “PROGRAM FULL” 
appears on the TV screen.

After timer recording is completed, the recorder turns off 
automatically.

You can program the timer recording while a regular recording 
is in progress; the menu screens will not be recorded. 

In case of a power failure after programming, the recorder’s 
memory backup keeps your selections (if the lithium battery is

The G-

 timer programming system eliminates the need to 

input channel, date, start and stop time data when setting the 
timer record function. Simply key in the G-

CODE

 number for the 

TV programme you wish to record (found in most TV listings) and 
the recorder's timer is automatically programmed.

You have to set “GUIDE PROG” numbers, which are assigned to 
each station for purposes of G-

CODE

 timer programming, for all 

the stations stored in your recorder’s memory to get proper results.

Before G-

CODE

 setup you must have performed the procedures of 

Tuner Set and Clock Set.

IMPORTANT

Perform the following procedure after Auto Set Up and/or the 
channel setting steps.
After setting the Guide Program Numbers, channel positions may 
be incorrect if you stored or skipped channels. In this case, re-
perform Guide Program Number setting.
