Panasonic NV-F70EA - Manual (Page 26)

NICAM SYSTEM
The NICAM system is a ground-based TV service for digital
stereo sound. To receive NICAM broadcasts, the NV-F70
incorporates a NICAM decoder.
When a stereo, dual-soundtrack or monaural NICAM pro­
gramme is being received, the indicators light up to inform
you of the type of broadcasts. The NICAM programmes are
always accompanied by standard broadcasts and you can
select the desired soundtrack for recording with a single
switch. NICAM soundtracks can only be recorded on the
hi-fi audio track.
Preparation
•Set the Input Signal Selector to “Tuner”.
