These include digital components such as an MD player, digital satellite, or a game system. Connect using a coaxial digital cable (not supplied).

If you find that the LINE 1 audio is distorting when played through this system, you can set the input attenuator to reduce the input signal level. See Optional system settings on page 67 to do this.

Recording mode

The Recording mode allows you to make surround-compatible analog recordings from the LINE 1 (OUT) jacks. Dolby multichannel sources will be downmixed to stereo for improved playback with systems that can provide matrix-decoding (like Dolby ProLogic).

R.Mode On – A surround-compatible downmix (left-total/right-total, or Lt/Rt) of Dolby multichannel sources is output, (suitable for Dolby Surround Pro Logic or other matrix decoding).

R.Mode Off – A simple stereo downmix (left-only/right-only, or Lo/Ro) is output (suitable for playback on a two-channel stereo system or on headphones).

When Recording mode is on, most surround sound-related functions cannot be used. The display will briefly blink RecMode On if you try and use a prohibited function while Recording mode is on.

When Recording mode is off, the audio from the analog output may be interrupted, depending on the operation.

The Recording mode automatically switches off if you change the input function (DVD/CD, TUNER, etc.) or switch the power off.
