from the television transmitter.
This video recorder can receive hi-fi sound transmissions in NICAM. You can turn stereo on or off by
pressing the A.SEL button. Sometimes right and left channels can carry different languages. In this
case, the following on-screen messages tell you the type of sound you have selected, when you
press the A.SEL button.
BIL OFF :
normal sound
BIL

: one
language
BIL

If the broadcast is not NICAM there is no on-screen message and you can only hear mono sound.
You need to select ‘stereo on’ to get proper surround-sound effects from a surround-sound effect
amplifier.
