How Do I Record (Edit Mode)?
Digital to Digital Recording
The PCM digital signal input through any DIGITAL IN jack is output digi-
tally at the digital jack. For more information on this connection, see
“Connecting Your MD Recorder or Primary Tape Deck” on page 22 of
the
Connections and Setup Guide
.
Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG Multichannel signals cannot be recorded.
Digital to Analog Recording
While home VCRs can record only two channels of audio, the receiver is
capable of "down-mixing" the multi-channel audio of Dolby Digital, DTS
or MPEG into stereo sound. Down-mixing is available by setting the Digital
Rec mode to “REC MODE: AUTO or “REC MODE: MANUAL”.
Digital Rec mode:
Digital signals include a variety of signals such as the Dolby Digital, DTS
and PCM signals.
When
REC MODE
is set to
AUTO
, digital input signals are automatically
converted into analog stereo signals.
When
REC MODE
is set to
MANUAL
, only a specific signal among the
digital signals can be converted into analog stereo signals.
When
REC MODE
is switched to
MANUAL
in the middle of reproduc-
tion of a digital audio program, only the digital signal of the type being
reproduced will be converted into analog stereo signals.
When
REC MODE
is switched to
MANUAL
while no source is played,
only the PCM signal will be converted into analog stereo signals.
To set the Digital Rec mode:
1. Touch the
(Src.) or
(Dst.) so that
(Src.) is reversed.
2. Select
(digital rec. auto) or
(digital rec. Manual).
3. When
(digital rec. auto) or
(digital rec. Manual) is selected,
the receiver displays "REC MODE: AUTO" or "REC MODE: MANUAL".
It is not possible to recording monitor a digital source signal onto the
device connected to the
CD2/TAPE2 MONITOR
input.
When a source recorded by down-mixing a multi-channel source is played
back in the Dolby Pro Logic mode, the audio can be reproduced in 4-
channel surround sound.
