Tip
You can record the sound from any audio source onto a video tape while copying from a video tape or DVD. Locate the point where you want to start recording from another audio source, select the program source, then start playback. The audio from that source will be recorded onto the audio track of the video tape instead of the audio from the original medium. To resume audio recording from the original medium, select the video source again.
Notes
•You cannot record a digital audio signal using a component connected to the analog VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.
•Make sure to make both digital and analog connections to the VIDEO 2 and DVD inputs. Analog recording is not possible if you make only digital connections.
•The analog audio signals of the current input are output from the VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.
