Insignia NS-HTIB51A 5.1 Channel Home Theater System

Notes

•The AV receiver must be turned on for recording. Recording is not possible while it’s in Standby mode.

•If you want to record directly from your TV or playback VCR to the recording VCR without going through the AV receiver, connect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals supplied with your TV and VCR for details.

•Video signals connected to composite video inputs can be recorded only via composite video outputs. If your TV/VCR is connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR must be connected to a composite video output.

•The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded.

•Copy-protected Blu-ray discs and DVDs cannot be recorded.

•Sources connected to a digital input cannot be recorded. Only analog inputs can be recorded.

•DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.

AV Recording

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (such as a cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the VCR OUT jacks. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (such as a VCR or DVD recorder) connected to the VCR/DVR Out jack.

To record an audio source:

1Use the input selector buttons to select the source that you want to record. You can watch the source while recording. The receiver’s MASTER VOLUME control has no effect on recording.

2Start recording on your recorder.

3On the source component, start playback. If you select another input source during recording, that input source will be recorded.

Recording Separate AV Sources

You can record audio and video from completely separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact that when an audio-only input source (TV/CD) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged.

In the following example, audio from the CD player connected to the TV/CD IN jack and video from the camcorder connected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

To record separate AV sources:

3Press the TV/CD input selector. This selects the CD player as the audio source, but leaves the camcorder as the video source.

4Start recording on the VCR and start playback on the camcorder and CD player. The video from the camcorder and the audio from the CD player are recorded by the VCR.

Connecting the power

To connect your receiver to power:

• Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.

Using rubber feet/pads for more stable speakers

We recommend using the rubber feet (provided) to achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The rubber feet prevent the speakers from moving, providing a more stable platform.
