JVC RX-DV3RSL Attenuating the Input Signal, Changing the Source Name, When recording with VCR

Attenuating the Input Signal

•You have to make this adjustment for each analog source.

Activating the Recording Mode

When you play back the multichannel sources, Recording mode enables you to record the sounds without missing surround elements by down-mixing the center and rear channel signals into the front channel signals.

•When the multichannel software is played back with Recording mode activated, the sounds are down-mixed and come out through the front speakers only.

•Each time you press and hold the button, Recording mode is activated (“RECMODE ON”) and deactivated (“RECMODE OFF*”) alternately.

* “RECMODE OFF” is the initial setting.

RECMODE OFF : Normally select this. The down-mixing is canceled.

RECMODE ON : Select this for recording the down-mixed sounds.

When recording with VCR:

You can record the picture on your video tape without the volume level indication when Recording mode is activated.

•When you do not want to record the on-screen guide icons, see page 56.

•The choice menu and on-screen bar are always recorded when they appears on the TV.

CAUTION:

When the front speakers are small, the output sound may be distorted by Recording mode. In this case, decrease the volume until the sound distortion diminishes.
