...notes on dual language transmissions
A dual language transmission is where channel 1 and channel 2 of the Nicam stereo broadcast
carry completely separate information i.e. soundtracks in two different languages for a movie. A dual
language broadcast is denoted by a symbol ( or ) in the top right hand corner of the screen. This
can be seen on first entry to the channel by pressing the INFO button on your handset.
The user can select which of the two is heard through both the left and right television speakers by
