•Be aware that the ZONE 2 and REC OUT selectors use the same circuit and therefore cannot be used at the same time.

•Even if you change the input source that you are listening to, the input source that is selected for recording will not change. However, if you have selected FM (or AM) as the source to be recorded and the AM (or FM) source button is pressed, the source being recorded will be changed to the AM (or FM) input signal.

Recording both the audio and video

The TX-DS696 also allows you to record the audio and video signals output from the VIDEO OUT 1 and 2 jacks.
