NICAM SYSTEM (CONT’D) HI-FI AUDIO SYSTEM
di E]
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. This switch functions
only when the Input Signal Selector is set to “TUNER”. 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
goes off and the FM sound is recorded on the hi-fi track
irrespective of the setting of this switch.
•If the Nicam/Mono Switch is intentionally set to
“MONO” even through a NICAM programme is
being received, the indicator(s) remain lit.
•To record the regular sound (ordinary normal
sound) on the FM audio tracks when a NICAM
programme is received, set the Nicam/Mono Switch
to “MONO”.
•When a NICAM programme is received and the
sound is distorted due to inferior reception condi­
tions, set the Nicam/Mono Switch to “MONO”.
Recording of Simulcast Sound
Preparation
•Connect your VTR to the Stereo Amplifier and FM Stereo
Tuner as described on page 28.
•Tune the FM Stereo Tuner to the desired station.
O Set the Input Signal Selector to “Simul”.
•The operation procedure is the same as for normal
recording; see “Recording from a TV broadcast sig­
nal” on page 25.
While this switch is in the “Simul” position, the sound

on the “normal” sound track. And the stereo sound
signal received via the FM tuner will be recorded on the
hi-fi sound tracks.
