Nicam/Mono Switch
•When a NICAM programme is being received, this switch
can be used to select the desired type of sound to be
recorded on the hi-fi audio track. To record a NICAM
programme, this switch must be set to “NICAM”.
Note:
If NICAM broadcast signals are weak, the sound quality
deteriorates remarkably. When the signals are extremely
weak, the Audio Recording Mode Indicator (M1, M2,
STEREO) goes off and the FM sound is recorded on the
hi-fi track irrespective of the setting of this switch.
Playback (or Monitoring during Recording)____________
