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 will be recorded on the Hi-Fi audio
track, and the standard audio programme will be recorded on the
normal audio track.
NOTES:
●
If the quality of stereo sound being received is poor, the broadcast
will be received in monaural with better quality.
●
Before playing back a programme recorded in stereo, or a bilingual
programme, refer to “Soundtrack Selection” on page 60.
B.E.S.T. Picture System
The B.E.S.T. (Biconditional Equalised Signal Tracking) system
checks the condition of the tape in use during playback and
recording, and compensates to provide the highest-possible
playback and recording pictures. You can set “B.E.S.T.” to “ON” or
“OFF” to your preference. (
墌
pg. 81)
Playback
The unit assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate
playback.
●
The unit adjusts the playback picture quality based on the quality of
the tape in use.
●
B.E.S.T. is active during automatic tracking. “BEST” appears blinking
on the front display panel.
●
“BEST” only appears at the beginning of automatic tracking. Even
though it doesn’t appear after that, the B.E.S.T. function is operative.
Recording
The unit assesses the quality of the tape once you initiate
recording.
●
The unit spends approximately 7 seconds assessing the condition of
the tape, then begins recording.
