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

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.

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.
