Recording

This section explains how to record the selected input source to a component with recording capability, and how to record audio and video from different sources.

Notes:

The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded.

Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.

You cannot record from the DVD analog multichannel input.

Various restrictions apply to digital recording. Refer to the manuals supplied with your digital recording equipment for more details.

Digital input signals are output by only the digital out- puts, and analog input signals are output by only the analog outputs. There is no internal conversion from digital to analog or vice versa.

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 (e.g., cas- sette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TAPE OUT jack. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVD recorder) connected to the to VCR/DVR OUT jack. See pages 24 to 39 for hookup information.

1Use the input selector buttons to select the source that you want

to record.

You can watch the source while record- ing. The AV receiver’s Master Volume control has no effect on recording.

2On your recorder, start record- ing.

3On the source component, start playback.

If you select another input source dur- ing recording, that input source will be recorded.

Recording Separate AV Sources

Here 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 (i.e., TAPE, TUNER, or CD) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged.

In the following example, audio from the CD player con- nected to the CD IN, and video from the camcorder con- nected to the AUX Input Video jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

1Prepare the camcorder and CD player for playback.

2Prepare the VCR for recording.

3Press the [AUX] input selector button.

4Press the [CD] input selector button.

This selects the CD player as the audio source, but leaves the camcorder as the video source.

5Start recording on the VCR and start play- back on the camcorder and CD player.

The video from the camcorder and the audio from the CD player are recorded by the VCR.
