Hi-Fi Stereo Sound System
Your DVD/VCR Combi receiver will record and play-
back Hi-Fi stereo sound. In addition it has a stereo
NICAM digital stereo sound decoder. This allows you
to record and playback the sound in several different
ways. Video cassettes recorded on your DVD/VCR
Combi receiver will have a normal mono audio track
and two VHS Hi-Fi stereo audio tracks. These stereo
tracks allow you to make audio recordings in Hi-Fi
stereo or bilingual mode from a TV broadcast, stereo
audio system, video disc or another Hi-Fi VCR.
1. Your DVD/VCR Combi receiver’s NICAM digital
sound decoder allows you to enjoy broadcasts
with NICAM sound, as well as standard stereo,
bilingual and mono sound. The particular type of
sound received or that recorded will be briefly dis-
played on the TV screen for a couple of seconds:
