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).1

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 your equipment on page 13 for more on connections).

Since the video converter is not available when making recordings (from the video OUT jacks) make sure to use the same type of video cable for connecting your recorder as you used to connect your video source (the one you want to record) to this receiver. For example, you must connect your recorder using S-Video if your source has also been connected using S-Video.

For more information about video connections, see Connecting a DVD/HDD recorder, VCR and other video sources on page 18.

1 Select the source you want to record.

Use the input source buttons (or INPUT SELECT).

If necessary, press SIGNAL SEL to select the input signal corresponding to the source component (see Choosing the input signal on page 33 for more on this).

2 Prepare the source you want to record.

Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD, etc.

3 Prepare the recorder.

Insert a blank tape, MD, video, etc. into the recording device and set the recording levels.

Refer to the instructions that came with the recorder if you are unsure how to do this. Most video recorders set the audio recording level automatically—check the component’s instruction manual if you’re unsure.

4Start recording, then start playback of the source component.

Note

1• The receiver’s volume, Audio parameters (the bass/treble controls, for example), 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.
