The NICAM Broadcast System
(NV-HD650EA only)
NV-HD650EA is equipped with the NICAM sound system.
NICAM is a 2 channel sound broadcast system to provide |
either a high quality stereo sound track or 2 independent
MONO sound tracks, М1 and M2. у
NICAM programmes are always accompanied by standard
sound broadcasts and you can select the desired sound
with AUDIO OUT during playback.
e The NICAM digital stereo sound can only be recorded on
the Hi-Fi audio track.
e When NICAM programme is being received, the indicators
are lit to inform you of the type of broadcast.
(See page 30.)
e To record the regular sound (ordinary norma! sound) on
the FM audio tracks when a NICAM programme is
received, select MONAURAL ON. (See page 19.)
e To hear stereo performance connect as shown on page 8
to a TV or Stereo Amplifier with left and right audio inputs.
Important Note for the NICAM System
When NV-HD650EA is switched on, the tuner will
automatically switch to a NICAM broadcast, if NICAM is
being transmitted.
At this time the NICAM signal is transmitted on stereo
channels only, since the Mt and M2 formats are not yet
available. Even if the sound track is in MONO, the stereo
indicator will appear.

Precautions
Please read these cautions before you operate this VTR.
Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature
lf the VTR is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm
place, condensation may form on the tape and inside the
УТА. In this case, the Dew Indicator “¿” will flash on and off
and the VTR wiil not operate.
Humidity and Dusi
Avoid places where there is high humidity or much dust,
which may cause damage to internal parts.
Do Not Obstruct the Ventilation Holes
The ventilation holes prevent abnormal increase in
temperature. Do not block or cover these holes. Especially
avoid covering the holes with soft materials such as cloth or
paper.
Keep away from High Temperature
Keep the VTR away from extreme direct heat such as direct
sunlight, heating radiators, or closed automobiles.
Keep Magnets away
Never bring a magnet or magnetized object near the VTR
because it will adversely affect the performance of the VTR.
No Fingers or Other Objects inside
Touching internal parts of this VTR is dangerous, and may
cause serious damage to the VTR, Do not attempt to
disassemble the VTR. There are no user serviceable parts
inside.
Keep Water away
Keep the VTR away from fiower vases, tubs, sinks, etc.
CAUTION: If liquids are spilled into the VTR, serious
damage could occur. If you spill any liquid into the VTR,
consult qualified service personnel.
Lightning
To avoid damage by lightning, disconnect the aerial plug
from the VTR.
Cleaning the VTR
Wipe the VTR with a clean, dry cloth. Never use cleaning
fluid, or other chemicals. And do not use compressed air to
remove dust.
Video Head Clogging
The video heads place picture signals on the tape during
recording and read picture signals from the tape during
playback and they are, therefore, of critical importance for
the picture quality. If the VTR is used over extremely lang
periods of time, these heads may become dirty and
clogged. in such a case, the signals can no longer be
recorded correctly, and the playback picture will be
distorted accordingly. This is the case, for example, during
the playback of a tape, the sound is reproduced normally,
but no picture is seen, or the picture is greatly distorted.
When such a symptom case occurs have the recorder
checked by qualified service personnel.
Head cleaning by service agent is not covered by
warranty.
lf Dew Condensation Forms in the VTR
Stacking
Place the VTR in a horizontai position, and do not piace
anything heavy on it.
Condensation may form in the VTR if:
e The VTR is in a room where the heater has just been
turned on.
e The VTR is in a room with steam or high humidity.
e The VTR is brought from cold surroundings into a
well-heated room.
e The VTR is suddenly brought from cool surroundings,
such as an air-conditioned room or car, to a place which is
hot and humid.
When dew forms in the VTR, the Dew Indicator " 1” on the
display will flash on and off and all the function buttons are
made non-operational to protect the tape and the video
heads. When the Dew Indicator flashes, wait until this
indicator disappears.
elf dew condensation forms inside the VTR while the VTR
is off, it will turn on automatically and the Dew Indicator
will flash on and off. As soon as the dew condensation has
been dissolved, the VTR will turn itself off again.
