1During recording, press the REC SELECT CONTROL button on the front panel until RECOUT shows in the display.1

2While RECOUT shows in the display, use the

INPUT SELECTOR dial to select the source you want to record.

The default, RECOUT SOURCE, records the source you’re currently listening to (as in Press RETURN to confirm and exit the menu. above).

•Note that the setting you make here is stored in memory, even if you switch off the receiver, so if you want to record a different input source later, you must do so with REC SELECT, or by selecting

RECOUT SOURCE.

3After RECOUT disappears from the display, select the input source you want to listen to.

This will be heard from the main system without affecting your recording.2

Reducing the level of an analog signal

The input attenuator lowers the input level of an analog signal when it’s too strong. You can use this if you find the that the OVER indicator is lights often, or you can

hear distortion in the sound.3

Switching the speaker impedance

We recommend using speakers of 8 Ω with this system, but it is possible to switch the impedance setting if you plan to use speakers with a 6 Ω impedance rating.

1With the receiver in standby, press STANDBY/

ON while holding down the SETUP button.

2Select SPEAKER using /, then select 8 Ω or 6 Ω using /.

•SPEAKER 6 Ω – Use this setting if your speakers are rated at 6 Ω.

•SPEAKER 8 Ω – Use this setting if your speakers are rated at 8 Ω or more.

Using the sleep timer

The sleep timer switches the receiver into standby after a specified amount of time so you can fall asleep without worrying about the receiver being left on all night. Use the remote control to set the sleep timer.
