*Connect to a turntable (MM) that has a phono preamp built-in. If your turntable (MM) does not have a built-in preamp, you will need a commercially available phono preamp.

If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type cartridge, you will need a commercially available MC head amp or MC transformer as well as a phono preamp. See your turntable’s manual for details.

Notes

•The receiver can output audio and video signals from the AUX INPUT jacks to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

•With connection 2, you can enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS.

•With connection 4, if your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player has both main stereo and multichannel outputs, be sure to connect the main stereo.

•With the connections described above, you cannot record the video through the receiver. To make a connection for video recording, see the following section.

To record audio and video from the same source input

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.

Connecting the powerTo connect your receiver to power:

• Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.

AV Recording

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (such as a cassette deck, CD-R, MD [MiniDisc]) 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 is 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.
