Recording a source

You can record any sources playing through the receiver to a cassette deck (or a CD recorder) connected to the TAPE/CDR jacks and the VCR connected to the VCR jacks at the same time.

While recording, you can listen to the selected sound source at whatever sound level you like without affecting the sound levels of the recording.

Note:

The output volume level, Midnight Mode (see page 21), Bass Boost (only for RX-6042S), Equalization patterns (see page 24), Surround modes and DSP modes (see pages 25 to 29) cannot affect the recording.

Basic adjustment auto memory

This receiver memorizes sound settings for each source—

•when you turn off the power,

•when you change the source,

•when you change the analog/digital input modes, and

•when you assign the source name (see page 14).

When you change the source, the memorized settings for the newly selected source are automatically recalled.

The following can be stored for each source:

•Analog/digital input mode (see page 13)

•Input attenuator mode (see page 14)

•Equalization pattern (see page 24)

•Speaker output levels (see page 24)

•Surround and DSP mode selection (see pages 25 and 28)

•Bass Boost setting (only for RX-6042S)

Notes:

•If the source is FM or AM, you can assign a different setting for each band.

•A sound setting assigned for a digital component is valid for both the analog and digital input modes.
