Audio In
NICAM Select NICAM • Record the NICAM audio in a NICAM broadcast.
Regular Audio Record the non-NICAM audio in a NICAM broadcast. (You can still switch
the audio to record using the
AUDIO button before recording.)
Analog Tuner Level Normal • Standard setting.
Compression Use if the audio level from the built-in tuner is excessive, causing distortion.
External Audio Stereo • Select if the audio from the currently selected external input is standard
stereo.
Bilingual Select if each channel carries a separate soundtrack.
When the external audio is from the DV input, an audio subcode channel within the DV audio tells the recorder whether the audio is stereo or
bilingual. This has priority over the setting you make here.
Bilingual Recording A/L • Record the left (A) channel of a bilingual source when recording to HDD
with HDD Recording Format set to Video Mode On, to DVD in Video mode
or in
LPCM mode, from an external source.
B/R As above, but for right (B) channel recording.
When recording bilingual audio to DVD in VR mode (except in LPCM mode), or to HDD with HDD Recording Format set to Video Mode Off (except
in LPCM mode), both audio channels are recorded and you can switch to the one you want on playback.
DV Input Stereo 1 • Select to use the ‘live’ audio track (recorded during the video shoot) from
a camcorder that supports two stereo audio tracks.
Stereo 2 Select to use the overdubbed audio track from a camcorder that supports
two stereo audio tracks.
Mix Select one of the three settings to use a mix of the two stereo audio tracks.

PCM
Convert Dolby Digital sources to Linear PCM output. Use if your connected
equipment doesn’t have a Dolby Digital decoder.
DTS Out On • Output a DTS signal when a DTS source is being played.

your connected equipment doesn’t have a DTS decoder. In this case, use
the analog audio outputs.

equipment doesn’t support 96 kHz sampling rate.
96 kHz Output 96 kHz digital audio when a 96 kHz source is being played.
MPEG Out MPEG Output an MPEG audio signal when a source using MPEG audio is being
played.
MPEG PCM • Convert sources with MPEG audio to Linear PCM output. Use if your con-
nected equipment doesn’t have an MPEG audio decoder.
Audio DRC On Switches on Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Control). Use when listening to
Dolby Digital material at low volume.
Off • Switches off Audio DRC.
Audio DRC is not effective when listening via the digital output when the Dolby Digital Out setting is set to Dolby Digital. In this case adjust
the dynamic range from the receiver subwoofer—see Dynamic Range Control on page 29.
