Recording a source

To record an input source signal different from that you are currently watching or listening to

This method outputs to the audio and video outputs the signal from the input source that you select here. This allows you to record an input source signal different from that which you are listening to or watching at the time of recording.

1.Press the Rec Out button.

2.Within 5 seconds, press the input source selector button of the input source signal that you wish to record.

The signal from the selected input source will now be output to the TAPE OUT, VIDEO 1 OUT, and VIDEO 2 OUT outputs for recording.

3.Start recording at the recording component as desired.

To confirm the settings, press the Rec Out button. The current settings will appear for 5 seconds in the front display.

Notes:

Be aware that the remote (Zone 2) and recording (REC OUT) outputs use the same circuit and therefore can be used at the same time.

You cannot record the surround effects.

Digital signals input to the DIGITAL INPUT (COAXIAL) and DIGITAL INPUT (OPTICAL) inputs will be output to the DIGITAL OUTPUT (OPTICAL) outputs.

There are some restrictions on recording digital signals. When making digital recordings, consult the instruction manual that came with your digital recording equipment (e.g., MD recorder or DAT deck) to know what restrictions are imposed.

You cannot record the source connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT connector.

If you select FM (or AM) with the input source buttons when the recording source is set to AM (or FM), the output for the recording source also changes to AM (or FM).

Recording the video from one source and the audio from another

You can add the sound from one source to the video of another source to make your own video recordings.

Below is an example of recording the sound from a compact disc player connected to CD IN and the video from a video camera connected to VIDEO 5 IN to video cassette tape in a video cassette recorder connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT jack.

1.Press the CD input source button.

2.Set “VIDEO 5” for the Video setting in the Video Setup sub-menu of the Setup menu: Input Setup Video Setup Video.

3.Insert a CD in the CD player and insert a tape in the video camera connected to the VIDEO 5 IN.

4.Insert a video tape for recording in the video cassette recorder connected to VIDEO 1 OUT.

5.Press the REC OUT button repeatedly until “Rec Sel:SOURCE” appears in the front display.

Now “CD” has been selected as the audio input source and “VIDEO 5” as the video input source.

6.Start recording on the video cassette recorder and start playing at the CD player and video camera as desired.

Notes:

If you change the input source during recording, you will record the audio signals from the newly selected input source and the video signals assigned to that input source.

You cannot record the surround effects.
