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, TUNER or PHONO) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged.

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

Note		Camcorder
• The AV receiver must be turned on for recording. Recording is
not possible while it’s in Standby mode.
• If you want to record directly from your TV or playback VCR to
the recording VCR without going through the AV receiver, con-
nect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the
recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals sup-
plied with your TV and VCR for details.
• Video signals connected to composite video inputs can be
recorded only via composite video outputs. If your TV/VCR is
connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR must
be connected to a composite video output.
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be
recorded.
• Copy-protected Blu-ray Disc/DVDs cannot be recorded.
• Sources connected to a digital input cannot be recorded. Only
analog inputs can be recorded.
• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t attempt analog
recording of DTS CDs or LDs.
• While the listening mode is set to Pure Audio, no image is pro-
vided because the power is turned off for the video circuit. If you	CD player	VCR
