Tape Recording

In normal operation, the audio or video
source selected for listening through the
AVR41 is sent to the record outputs. This
means that any program you are
watching or listening to may be recorded 
simply by placing machines connected to
the outputs for 

Tape 1

§

Tape 2

¢

or 

Video 1

ª

in the record mode.

When a tape recorder with separate
record and playback heads (3 head deck)
is connected to the 

Tape 1 Mon

in/

outputs 

∞§

, you may monitor the

output of the recording by selecting the

Tape 1/Monitor

input  

8d

. Note

that the word 

MONITOR

will briefly

appear in the front panel display to
remind you that you are listening to the
record playback instead of the actual
input source being recorded. After three
seconds the display will once again
display the selected input source, but the
red 

TAPE M

indicator will remain

illuminated to remind you that you are
listening to the record playback rather
than the direct input source.

When a video recording is made and
audio source is selected, the last video
source used remains routed to the

Monitor

and 

Video 1

outputs 

ª‚

.

This permits simultanous viewing,
listening and recording of different A/V
sources

Video Dubbing

Special circuits in the AVR41 make it
possible to copy the programme from
one video source to another while you
are viewing/listening to a separate and
different input. When making a video
dub note that the VCR connected to

Video 1

ª

will always be the record

machine, and the playback source will be
either the equipment connected to the

Video 2

input 

or the front panel

Video 3

%

.

To make a video copy, simply press the
front panel 

Video Dubbing 

button

3536

corresponding to the video source

being played back. It is not necessary to
press the 

Input Selection 

buttons when

making a direct video dub. The
information display will briefly show 

VID2 > 1

or 

VID3 > 1

to confirm

the dubbing operation. After the display
returns to show the current input source
for the main system, a red indicator will
illuminate inside the 

Video Dubbing

button to remind you that a Video Dub is
in process. To turn the video dubbing off,
simply press the same 

Video Dubbing

button again.
