Recording

To record audio/video:

1.Select the recording input source device such as a TV or tuner (see page 27).

2.Use Remote Control unit to select the channel and perform other required operations in the same way as with the remote of the se- lected AV device.

3.Press and hold the remote’s CONFIRM/SHIFT key for about 2 sec- onds so that the SHIFT display appears, then select the recording de- vice such as the VCR. For 8 seconds after the CONFIRM/SHIFT key is pressed, the input selection signal is not transmitted from the remote to the receiver even when an input is selected. Therefore, this period can be used to remote control the recording device without changing the input selection.

4.Press the remote’s REC key to start recording.

For detailed operating procedures of your AV device, refer to its instruction manual.

To record a source connected through [SL 16] system control cord:

When recording audio from a CD player connected through a system control cord, the sync recording is available. (For the sync or synchro recording, refer to the instruction manual of your cassette deck or MD recorder.)

1.Select the CD input on Remote Control unit.

2.Put the cassette deck or MD recorder in Rec pause mode. When the CD starts to be played, recording is automatically started in synchro- nism.

How Do I Operate Devices?

• If you’re recording from a digital source, any action other than adjust-

ing the volume may cause the sound to “clip” on the recording.

 

• You cannot record from the component you are using to record. For

 

example, if you’re recording on a VCR connected to the VIDEO1 jacks,

 

select a source other than Video 1.

 

• If your source is a camcorder or other video unit, refer to the instruc-

 

tion manual for the particular unit you’re recording from.

 

• It is not possible to record a digital source signal onto the device con-

 

nected to the CD2/TAPE2 MONITOR output.

Using

Digital to Digital Recording:

 

The PCM digital signal input through any DIGITAL IN jack is output digi-

Receiver

tally at the digital jack. For more information on this connection, see

 

“Connecting Your MD Recorder or Primary Tape Deck” on page 20 of

 

the Connections and Setup Guide.

 

Dolby Digital and DTS signals cannot be recorded.

 

Digital to Analog Recording:

 

While home VCRs can record only two channels of audio, the receiver is

 

capable of "down-mixing" the multi-channel audio of Dolby Digital, DTS

 

or MPEG into stereo sound. Down-mixing is available by setting the Digital

 

Rec mode to “REC MODE: AUTO or “REC MODE: MANUAL”.

 

To set the Digital Rec mode:

 

1.Press the F. SHIFT =REC (REC MODE)* key on Remote Control unit.

2.Select “REC MODE: AUTO or “REC MODE :MANUAL”.

When a source recorded by down-mixing a multi-channel source is played back in the Dolby Pro Logic mode, the audio can be reproduced in 4- channel surround sound.
