About analog recording onto an external audio component (AUX3)

2When the DVD is selected

Dolby Digital, DTS and PCM digital signals are automatically converted to 2-channel stereo signals before being output (except when in the Dolby Headphone mode) and can be recorded in analog. (For what happens in the Dolby Headphone mode, see below.)

2When other functions (analog) are selected (aside from “AUX3”)

The analog audio signal selected from among the functions other than DVD is output unchanged, regardless of the S-301’s input mode or surround mode.

NOTE:

Cautions during analog recording of DVDs or digital input sources:

•Do not switch the S-301’s input mode, surround mode or surround parameters during recording. Doing so will interrupt the sound being recorded.

We recommend setting the surround mode to “STEREO”.

•When using headphones, recording is automatically performed in the Dolby Headphone mode.
