Recording a Source

For analog-to-analog recording

You can record any analog source through the receiver to —

the cassette deck (or MD recorder) connected to the TAPE/MD jacks,

the VCR connected to the VCR 1 jacks, and

the CD recorder (or VCR) connected to the CDR/VCR2 jacks

— at the same time.

For digital-to-digital recording

You can record the currently selected digital input through the receiver to a digital recording device connected to the DIGITAL OUT terminal.

Notes:

Analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog recordings are not possible.

The output volume level, bass boost (see page 12), SEA modes (see page 21), and DSP modes (see page 22) cannot affect the recording.

The test tone signal (see page 26, 28) does not come out through the DIGITAL OUT terminal.

Adjusting the Front Speaker Output

Balance

If the sounds you hear from the front right and left speakers are unequal, you can adjust the speaker output balance.

On the front panel ONLY:

1. Press BALANCE/SURROUND

Changing the Source Name

When you have connected an MD recorder to the TAPE/MD jacks or the DBS tuner to the TV SOUND/DBS jacks on the rear panel, change the source name which will be shown on the display when you select the MD recorder or DBS tuner as the source.

On the front panel ONLY:

SOURCE SELECTOR

from “TAPE” to “MD”:

Turn SOURCE SELECTOR until “TAPE” appears.

When changing the source name from “TV SOUND” to “DBS”:

Turn SOURCE SELECTOR until “TV SOUND” appears.

BASS BOOST

2. Press and hold SOURCE NAME

(BASS BOOST) until “ASSGN. SOURCENAME

MD” or “ASSGN. DBS” appears on the display.

To change the source name to “TAPE” or “TV SOUND,” repeat

the same procedure above — in step 1, select “MD” or “DBS” then press and hold SOURCE NAME (BASS BOOST).

Notes:

You can only assign the correct source name to “TAPE/MD” and “TV SOUND/DBS,” but not to “CDR/VCR 2.”

Without changing the source name, you can still use the connected components. However, there may be some inconvenience.

“TAPE” or “TV SOUND” will appear on the display when you select the MD recorder or DBS tuner.

You cannot use the digital input (see page 16) for the MD recorder.

You cannot use the COMPU LINK remote control system (see page 38) to operate the MD recorder.
