Connecting a DVD/HDD recorder, VCR and other video 
sources

 on page 22.

1

Select the source you want to record.

Use the input source buttons (or 

INPUT SELECT

). 

• If necessary, set the operation selector switch to 

RCV

, 

then press 

SIGNAL SEL

 to select the input signal 

corresponding to the source component (see 

Choosing the input signal

 on page 38 for more on 

this).

2

Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD etc.

3

Prepare the recorder.

Insert a blank tape, MD, video etc. into the recording 
device and set the recording levels.

Refer to the instructions that came with the recorder if 
you are unsure how to do this. Most video recorders set 
the audio recording level automatically—check the 
component’s instruction manual if you’re unsure.

4

component.

Reducing the level of an analog signal

The input attenuator lowers the input level of an analog 
signal when it’s too strong. You can use this if you find 
that the 

OVER

 indicator lights often or you can hear 

distortion in the sound.

specified amount of time so you can fall asleep without 
worrying about the receiver being left on all night. Use 
the remote control to set the sleep timer.

•

Set the operation selector switch to RCV, then press 

SLEEP repeatedly to set the sleep time.

• You can check the remaining sleep time at any time 

by pressing 

SLEEP

 once. Pressing repeatedly will 

cycle through the sleep options again.

2

Dimming the display

You can choose between four brightness levels for the 
front panel display. Note that when selecting sources, the 
display automatically brightens for a few seconds.

•

Set the operation selector switch to RCV, then press 

DIMMER repeatedly to change the brightness of the 
front panel display.
