Recording from Video Components
The following operations show you how to record audio and video to the video tape recorder connected to the
VCR 1, VCR 2 or DVR jacks. Note that all signals coming out of these jacks will be analog and it is not possible to
record Dolby Digital/DTS soundtracks.
The receiver's volume, channel level, balance, TONE, DIGITAL NR, MIDNIGHT, LOUDNESS and sur-
round effects have no effect on the recorded signal.
1 First, decide the component you'd like to
record and put the receiver in that function.
2 Press RECEIVER.
This switches the remote to the receiver control mode.
3 Set the SIGNAL SELECT to analog.
Press the SIGNAL SELECT button on the remote control (or
use the button on the front panel) and choose analog. Record-
ing DIGITAL signals is not possible.
4 Start recording with VCR 1 or VCR 2 (etc.).
5 Playback the source to be recorded.
Recording from Digital Audio Components
The following explanations show you how to record digital audio. Using this method you can make exact digital
copies of sources like CDs or MDs. The only drawback is that you cannot switch between various recorders at
the touch of a button like you can with analog recordings (see the previous page). If you look on the back of the
receiver you will find one digital out jack which are marked PCM/
2
/DTS. If you connect one of these to the
optical input on a digital recorder (currently these include MD, DAT, and CD-R), you can make direct digital
recordings with this unit. Of course, the digital components you want to record, all need to be connected to the
receiver with digital inputs as well. See p.13 if you have not made these connections.
The receiver’s volume, channel level, tone (BASS, TREBLE, and LOUDNESS), and surround
effects have no effect on the recorded signal.
1 Prepare the source you want to record and
put the receiver in that function.
2 Press RECEIVER.
This switches the remote to the receiver control mode.
3 Set SIGNAL SELECT to DIGITAL.
Press the SIGNAL SELECT button on the remote control (or use
the button on the front panel) and choose DIGITAL.
4 Start recording with a CD-R or MD (etc.).
5 Play back the source to be recorded.
In some cases, digital recordings have copy guard protections
on them and making a digital copy is not possible. It is still
possible to copy these digital sources if you have hooked the
components up with analog connections (in this case, the cop-
ies will not be exact digital reproductions). Refer to the previ-
ous page in this case.
