  • You only get stereo on a suitable stereo TV via SCART AV from stereo sources.

  • Using the audio outs from a nicam stereo tv to input as a simulcast on a nicam stereo vcr is a messy and inconvenient way to record nicam stereo broadcasts if you have to watch as well.

  • @AnthonyUK There were also,of course, NICAM decoders, with tuners, which could output a baseband analogue video and 2 baseband analogue audio signals to a non-NICAM HiFi stereo TV or VCR. Or people could build one themselves from a kit of parts.

    My last sentence in my previous comment seems a little confusing. Of course, I meant you could only watch the programme that you were recording, if it was a NICAM programme (wouldn't matter that much if it was mono programming).

  • @AnthonyUK Yes it can - if the TV has audio out sockets, you use these as the NICAM supply to the VCRs aaudio input sockets, albeit with the NICAM demodulated to baseband audio. Most of these early HiFi VCRs had a switch on the front, used for dubbing sound from the SCART/phono/DIN onto a picture from the aerial input. My reference is a Ferguson 3V48 from about 1984/85. The only real problem with this is that you had to watch a NICAM programme as you were recording.

  • You needed a NICAM Stereo Video to record stereo programmes;a hifi non-NICAM VCR cannot be made to record stereo straight from a TV set.

  • Well done for getting your letter on there! Used to love the Engineering bulletins back in the day
