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 can’t 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 VSX-
D908S you’ll find a digital out jack which is marked PCM/
2
/DTS OUT(it’s 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 VSX-D908S with digital inputs as well. See p.10 if you haven’t 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 set the
SIGNAL SELECT to digital.
Load the DVD, MD, etc., into the player. Here we’ll use a CD as an
example of the source being recorded.
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
Playback 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 them up with
analog connections (in this case the copies will not be exact
digital reproductions). Refer to the previous page in this case.
