Recording

Two-channel analog and digital audio signals, as well as composite and S-video signals, are normally available at the appropriate recording outputs. Thus, to make a recording, you need only make sure to con- nect your audio or video recorder to the appropriate output jacks, as described in the Installation section, insert blank media and make sure the recorder is turned on and recording while the source is playing.

NOTES:

1.Analog audio signals are not converted to digital form, and digital audio signals are not converted to analog audio form. However, you may record a coaxial or optical digital audio source using either type of digital audio output.

2.Only PCM digital audio signals are available for recording. Proprietary formats such as Dolby Digital and DTS may not be recorded using the digital audio connections, although if the source is connected to the AVR using the analog audio connections, an analog recording may be made.

3.HDMI and component video sources are not available for recording.

4.Please make certain that you are aware of any copyright restrictions on any material you record. Unauthorized duplica- tion of copyrighted materials is prohibited by federal law.

Using TheBridgeTM

The Bridge is an optional dock that may be used with a compatible iPod (not included). When The Bridge is connected to its proprietary input on the AVR 247 and the iPod is docked, you may enjoy the audio, video and still-image materials on your iPod through your high-quality

audio/video system, operate the iPod using the AVR remote or the AVR’s front-panel controls, view navigation messages on the AVR’s front panel or a connected video display, and charge the iPod.

Either press the front-panel Source Selector repeatedly until the mes- sage “DMP/The Bridge is CONNECTED” scrolls across the front panel and semi-OSD displays, or press the DMP Button on the remote to select The Bridge as the input source.

When an iPod is docked in The Bridge, the screen shown in Figure 74 will appear on a video display connected to the AVR. Navigate The Bridge’s screens by using the ‹ / › Buttons to highlight a line and pressing the Set Button to select the line. The › Button scrolls down, and the ‹ Button scrolls up. Press the Menu Button to return to the previous level of The Bridge’s menu system. Remember to set the remote in The Bridge device mode by pressing the Tape/The Bridge button. If it lights in red, press it again quickly so that it lights in green, indicating it is in The Bridge mode.

MUSIC: This line allows you to navigate the audio materials stored on your iPod.

PHOTOS/VIDEOS: Selecting this item allows you to play still images or videos stored on the iPod. The screen shown in Figure 75 will appear, directing you to operate the iPod’s own controls directly to play images and videos. You may use the AVR 247 remote instead of the iPod’s controls to navigate it, but the iPod’s menu will only be displayed on its internal screen. Visual materials will be displayed on a video display connected to the AVR.

NOTE: After selecting video/photo viewing, the AVR may remain in iPod Manual Mode, even after undocking the iPod or switch- ing to another source input and back again. To return to normal operation, with the AVR remote in The Bridge mode, press and hold the Menu Button.
