3. Start recording at the recording device connected to
the TAPE OUT jacks.
You can press the REC OUT button to display which input
source is selected for recording. When “Rec Sel : Off” is
displayed, no signal is output for recording.
Notes:
• You cannot use the REC OUT selector to record video signals.
• Be aware that the ZONE 2 and REC OUT selectors use the same
circuit and therefore cannot be used at the same time.
• Even if you change the input source that you are listening to, the
input source that is selected for recording will not change.
However, if you have selected FM (or AM) as the source to be
recorded and the AM (or FM) source button is pressed, the
source being recorded will be changed to the AM (or FM) input
signal.

Recording a source different from that you are listening
to:
The TX-DS696 allows you to listen to one source while recording
the signal from another source. The procedure below uses the
example of recording the audio from a CD player while watching the
input from a DVD player.
1. While playing the DVD, press the
REC OUT button.
REC OUT
Recording the same source that you are listening to:
1. Press the input source button for the source that you
want to record.
Recording the input source (REC OUT selector)
When using the TX-DS696 to record a source, you must select that
source to be output from the TAPE OUT jacks.
Caution
• Surround and multichannel audio cannot be recorded.
• You cannot perform digital recording with the TX-DS696. Also,
digital-to-analog signal conversion is not possible, so to record
audio signals from digital sources (e.g. CD players), their analog
connection must be made as well.
Recording both the audio and video
The TX-DS696 also allows you to record the audio and video signals
output from the VIDEO OUT 1 and 2 jacks.
1. Press the input source button for the source you
want to record.
2. Start recording at the recording device connected to
the VIDEO OUT 1 and 2 jacks.
Note:
Be aware that if you change the input source that you are watching
(or listening to), the source being recording will also change.
Hint
You can also record the video from one source and the audio from
another source together to make your own home movies and the like.
For example, if you want to record the video from a video camera
connected to VIDEO 4 and the audio from a CD player connected to
CD IN, at step 1 above, press the VIDEO 4 source button and then
the CD source button.
