Note:

Don’t connect the recorder’s digital output to the AV receiver when the recorder’s digital input is connected to one of the AV receiver’s digital outputs. Doing so may create a signal loop and cause a malfunction.

■Digital Recording

If your recorder has a digital input, by connecting it to the AV receiver’s optical DIGITAL OUT jack, you can record digitally. (With the TX-SR702/702E, you can use its coaxial DIGITAL OUT jack.) However, because the AV receiver doesn’t convert analog input signals to dig- ital and vice versa, only input signals connected to a DIGITAL IN jack can be recorded in this way.
