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
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 11 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 14.
1
Select the source you want to record.
Use the input source buttons (or
INPUT SELECT
).
• If necessary, press
SIGNAL SEL
(
SIGNAL SELECT
) to
select the input signal corresponding to the source
component (see
Choosing the input signal
on
page 30 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.
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
the that the
OVER
indicator is lights often, or you can
hear distortion in the sound.

Press
RECEIVER
then press ANALOG ATT to switch
the input attenuator on or off.
Using the sleep timer
The sleep timer switches the receiver into standby after a
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.
•
Press
RECEIVER
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.

Note
1 • The receiver’s volume, DSP (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.
