Recording

This section explains how to record the selected input source to a component with recording capability, and how to record audio and video from different sources.

AV Recording

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette tape deck, CDR, MD recorder). Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVD recorder).

1	Use the input selector buttons to select the source
	that you want to record.
	You can watch the source while recording. The AV
	receiver’s MASTER VOLUME control has no effect
	on recording.
2	On your recorder, start recording.
3	On the source component, start playback.
	If you select another input source during recording,

that input source will be recorded.

Recording Separate AV Sources

Here you can record audio and video from completely separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact that when an audio-only input source (TV/CD) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged.

In the following example, audio from the CD player connected to the TV/CD IN and video from the camcorder connected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO are recorded by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

Camcorder

	CD player	VCR
		: Video signal
		: Audio signal
1	Prepare the camcorder and CD player for
	playback.
2	Prepare the VCR for recording.
3	Press AUX input selector.
4	Press TV/CD input selector.
	This selects the CD player as the audio source, but
	leaves the camcorder as the video source.
5	Start recording on the VCR and start playback on
	the camcorder and CD player.

The video from the camcorder and the audio from the CD player are recorded by the VCR.
