• If the sound is of poor quality when set to Stereo, you
can often improve it by changing to Mono (Left or

• This recorder can record either NICAM or regular
audio. If the NICAM setting (page 22) is set to Auto,
then if the broadcast is NICAM, the audio automati-
cally changes to NICAM and you can record the
NICAM audio. If the broadcast is non-NICAM, the reg-
ular audio is always recorded.
If NICAM sound distortion occurs, due to poor recep-
tion, you can switch off NICAM setting of the program.
