Making an audio or a video recording

You can make an audio or a video recording from the built-in tuner, or from an audio or video source connected to the receiver (such as a CD player or TV).

Keep in mind you can’t make a digital recording from an analog source or vice-versa, so make sure the components you are recording to/from are hooked up in the same way (see Connecting up on page 11 for more on connections).

If you want to record a video source, you also need to use the same type of connection for the source as for the recorder. For example, you can’t record a component hooked up to composite video jacks with a recorder hooked up to the component video outputs (see page 15 for more on video connections).

Note

1• The receiver’s volume, balance, tone (bass, treble, loudness), and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal.

•Some digital sources are copy-protected, and can only be recorded in analog.

•Some video sources are copy-protected. These cannot be recorded.

•Recording from XM Radio is not possible.
