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 Making an audio or a video recording 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
