Recording a Source

You can record any source playing through the receiver to a cassette deck (or an MD recorder) connected to the TAPE/MD jacks and the VCRs connected to the VCR 1 and VCR 2 jacks at the same time.

While recording, you can adjust the volume level, without affecting the sound levels of the recording.

Before recording a digital source, turn off the DSP mode (see page 23).

While recording a digital source, do not change the SEA mode (see page 22) or DSP mode (see page 23); otherwise, recording will be interrupted.
