Section 6.0 - USING THE TAPE INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

RECORDING AUDIO/VIDEO, AUDIO ONLY AND DIGITAL AUDIO/VIDEO

The SSP-30 MKII does NOT send decoded digital information to the record outputs. The output from the record outputs is two channels, but the SSP-30 MKII does not decode digital information and send it to either of the two-channel record outputs. Though you may decode from digital DTS, Dolby Digital, or Pro Logic to watch a Movie utilizing the 6 or more speakers in your theater, you must connect, in parallel, the mixed two channel analog feed from the same source to record it.

The SOURCE being played in the Main area appears at the three Record Outputs. All Audio/Video SOURCEs and all Audio SOURCEs appear at all Record outputs, except PLAY.

There is one TOSlink digital audio output. It does not matter which style of Digital input is selected. The data available is the same data as input to the currently accessed digital audio Source. This data can be delivered to and recorded by a digital VCR. Since there is only one Digital output, if you wish to send the data to a recorder and another processor, use the Digital output of the recorder to send the signal to the second processor.

6.1RECORDING AUDIO/VIDEO, ANALOG:

Setup for recording Audio and Video to a non-digital VCR is described below. The PLAY input and REC record are a tape loop, so you cannot record anything fed to PLAY, except at the two channel only record output. When the primary source is digital you must be sure you connect the analog output from the digital source to the same SOURCE the digital audio is assigned to.

6.1.1DVD B SSP. Use a two channel analog audio cable to connect the analog output (mixed two channel) of the DVD player or Satellite receiver, etc, that you wish to record, to the analog input of the SOURCE the digital input is assigned. This must not be VIDEO 6.

6.1.2DVD B SSP. Use an S-Video or Composite Video cable to connect the video out of the DVD player or Satellite receiver, etc. , that you wish to record, to the same SOURCE the digital input is assigned to, and to which the analog audio is connected. (S-Video will convert to Composite, but not vice-versa). Do not connect to VIDEO 6.

NOTE: Component Video does not convert to either of the other formats, so you must connect S-Video or Composite Video. Though your best viewing may be Component Video, you cannot record it through the SSP- 30 MKII.

6.1.3VCR B SSP. Use a two channel analog audio cable to connect the analog output from your recording component to the VIDEO 6 analog Inputs.

6.1.4SSP B VCR. Use a two channel analog audio cable to connect the VIDEO 6 Record Output connectors of the SSP-30 MKII to the audio input connectors of the recording component.

6.1.5VCR B SSP. Use an S-Video or Composite Video cable to connect the video out of your recording component to the VIDEO 6 S-Video or Composite video input

6.1.6SSP B VCR. Use an S-Video or Composite Video cable to connect the VIDEO 6 S-Video or Composite Video output of the SSP-30 MKII to the S-Video or Composite video input of the recording component.

6.1.6.1Follow the usual recording component instructions for recording. The record output at REC, REC1, REC2, always follows the input on VIDEO 1 through VIDEO 5.
