Set NICAM settings (NICAM)
If you have selected the TV as the recording source (P1, P2, P3...) you can
select
NICAM 1, NICAM 2 or NICAM OFF as the sound format.
NICAM 1
We recommend using the
NICAM 1 setting as standard. When using
NICAM 1 digital (NICAM) and analogue (FM) signals are received in the
sound format used for the broadcast. The recorded sound format may be
mono, stereo or the first channel of two-channel sound.
NICAM 2
For programmes in digital and analogue two-channel sound format you
can set the second channel (usually a second audio language) for
reception and subsequent broadcast via the
NICAM 2 setting.
NICAM OFF
Select
NICAM OFF if you want to receive and record digital stereo signals
in FM MonoFormat. Please note that for this setting both channels receive
and output analogue two-channel sound. Thus it is unavoidable that both
audio languages will be heard on the recording.
(About NICAM: Refer to “NICAM”, P. 7)
If you use a SAT receiver or a
DVB-T box, you have to select
the channel on this device (not
on the DVD/HDD recorder).
