This is a simple way to make a copy of whatever you are watching or listening to, but if you choose this option it is important to note that the record output will change if the main input source is changed. If you want to make certain that the recording is NOT INTERRUPTED, press the Ü or Ý Menu Control buttons i so that Selectable is highlighted on the Output line.

Selectable Recording

When the Selectable option is chosen, an additional line appears on the menu (Figure OSD-39). The sources selected on this menu page will remain assigned to the record outputs regardless of which input source is being listened to through the main system. Thus, you may watch and listen to one set of input sources, and record a totally different set of sources, and the record feed will not be changed or interrupted as long as the 2.0 remains turned on.

To assign a particular input source to the record outputs, press the Úor Û Menu Control buttons i to move the highlighted video to the input you wish to change.

Use the Ü or Ý Menu Control button to change the input until the desired source location appears in the highlighted video bar.

Repeat the procedure for each input you wish to change, and the press the Menu button j twice to enter the settings and return to normal operation. The input choices selected for recording now will remain in effect until they are changed through the Rec Output Menu.

Notes on recording with the 2.0

When an S-Video source is selected for recording, it will be sent to both the S-Videoand standard

Composite Video Outputs Ú Ý. Composite video sources, however, DO NOT appear at the S-Video outputs. The only way to record a composite source is through the Composite Video Record Output Ý.

The feed to the record outputs is at a fixed level, and is not altered by any changes to the volume control or other Effects settings.

The feed to the record outputs is “clean,” in that the on-screen menu displays do not appear on the record outputs. This prevents unwanted information from interfering with recordings.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Audio from Dolby Digital, DTS or PCM digital sources may not be recorded. To make a recording from a digital audio source you must use the analog outputs provided on the playback machine.
