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 or VCR 2 jacks. Note that all signals coming out of these jacks will be analog and it is not possible to
record DTS soundtracks.
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. Press the
SIGNAL SELECT button to select to analog.
Press the SIGNAL SELECT button on the remote control (or use the
button on the front panel) and choose analog. Recording DIGITAL
or AC-3 RF signals is not possible.
2
Start recording with VCR 1 or VCR 2 (etc.).
3
Play back 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 a digital out jack which is marked PCM/
2
/DTS/MPEG OUT(it is to the right of the digital in
jacks in the upper left-hand corner). If you connect this 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.10-11
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. 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.
2
Start recording with a CD-R or MD (etc.).
3
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
copies will not be exact digital reproductions). Refer to the
previous page in this case.
