Making an audio or a video recording
You can make an audio or a video recording from the
built-in tuner, or from an audio or video source
connected to the receiver (such as a CD player or TV).
1
To use this feature, you must set ZONE 3 / RECSEL
Setting to RECSEL and MULTI-ZONE CONTROL to
RECOUT SOURCE
in the
ZONE Audio Setup
. For details,
see ZONE Audio Setup on page 104.
Keep in mind you can’t make a digital recording from an
analog source or vice-versa, so make sure the
components you are recording to/from are hooked up in
the same way (see
Connecting your equipment on
page 17 for more on connections).
Since the video converter is not available when making
recordings (from the video
OUT
jacks) make sure to use
the same type of video cable for connecting your recorder
as you used to connect your video source (the one you
want to record) to this receiver. For example, you must
connect your recorder using S-Video if your source has
also been connected using S-Video.
For more information about video connections, see
Connecting a DVD/HDD recorder, VCR and other video
sources
on page 24.
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 39 for more on
this).
2 Prepare the source you want to record.
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 Start recording, then start playback of the source
component.
Tip
• If you have a digital recorder connected to the
ZONE3/SOURCE OUT
digital output and
ZONE 3
is
switched on (see Using the MULTI-ZONE controls on
page 74), you can also select a different input source
for this output while
ZONE 3
shows in the display.
Playing a different source when recording
Using this receiver, it’s possible to listen to a different
analog source than the one you’re recording.
1 During recording, press the REC SELECT CONTROL
button on the front panel until RECOUT shows in the
display.
2
2 While RECOUT shows in the display, use the
INPUT SELECTOR dial to select the source you want to
record.
The default,
RECOUT SOURCE
, records the source you’re
currently listening to (as in Making an audio or a video
recording
on page 109).
• Note that the setting you make here is stored in
memory, even if you switch off the receiver, so if you
want to record a different input source later, you
must do so with
REC SELECT , or by selecting
RECOUT SOURCE
.
3 After RECOUT disappears from the display, select
the input source you want to listen to.
This will be heard from the main system without affecting
your recording.

Note
1 • The receiver’s volume, Audio parameters (the tone controls, for example), and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal.
• Some digital sources are copy-protected, and can only be recorded in analog.
• Some video sources are copy-protected. These cannot be recorded.
