Panasonic NV-F65EA - Manual (Page 25)

The NICAM system is a ground-based TV service for digital
stereo sound. To receive NICAM broadcasts, the NV-F65
incorporates a NICAM decoder.
When a stereo, dual-soundtrack or monaural NICAM
programme is being received, the indicators light up to
inform you of the type of broadcasts. The NICAM pro­
grammes 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”.
