Onkyo TX-SR504E Recording the Input Source, Recording Audio and Video from Separate Sources

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.

Recording the Input Source

You can only record to a component that’s connected to the TAPE OUT or VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.

See pages 20–31 for information on connecting your AV components.

Recording Audio and Video from Separate Sources

You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by simultaneously recording audio and video from two sep- arate sources. This is possible because only the audio source is switched when an audio-only input source, such as TAPE, TUNER, or CD, is selected, the video source remains the same.

In the following example, audio from the CD player con- nected to the CD IN jacks, and video from the camcorder

•The surround sound effects provided by the listening modes cannot be recorded.

•If you select another input source while recording, that input source will be recorded instead.

•While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the VIDEO 1 OUT V and S jacks don’t output video sig- nals, so select another mode when recording.
