Notes
• Do a test recording before you start an actual recording.
• When this unit is set in the standby mode, you cannot record
between other components connected to this unit.
• The setting of BASS, TREBLE, BASS EXTENSION,
VOLUME, “3 L/R BALANCE” on the SET MENU and DSP
programs does not affect the recorded material.
• A source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this unit cannot
be recorded.
• S-video and composite video signals pass independently
through this unit’s video circuits. Therefore, when recording or
dubbing video signals, if your video source component is
connected to provide only an S-video (or only a composite
video) signal, you can record only an S-video (or only a
composite video) signal by your VCR.
• A given input source is not output on the same REC OUT
channel. (For example, the signal input from VCR 1 IN is not
output on VCR 1 OUT.)
• Check the copyright laws in your country to record from
records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material
may infringe copyright laws.
If you playback a video source that uses scrambled or
encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, the
picture itself may be disturbed due to those signals.

Special considerations when
recording DTS software
The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to
digitally record the DTS bitstream will result in noise
being recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit to
record sources that have DTS signals recorded on them,
the following considerations and adjustments need to be
made.
For LDs, DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS
Only 2-channel analog audio signals may be recorded as
follows:
• LDs
Set your LD player’s left and right outputs to the
analog soundtrack.
• DVDs
Use the disc menu to set the DVD player’s mixed 2-
channel left and right audio outputs to the PCM or
Dolby Digital soundtrack.
• CDs
The DTS signal recorded on CDs can only be output
as a digital bitstream, and therefore cannot be
recorded.
