How Do I Operate Devices?

Using Receiver

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.

Digital to Digital Recording:

The PCM digital signal input through any DIGITAL IN jack is output digi- tally at the digital jack. For more information on this connection, see “Connecting Your MD Recorder or Primary Tape Deck” on pageÊ 22 of the Connections and Setup Guide.

Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG Multichannel 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”.

Digital Rec mode:

Digital signals include a variety of signals such as the Dolby Digital, DTS and PCM signals.

When REC MODE is set to AUTO, digital input signals are automatically converted into analog stereo signals.

When REC MODE is set to MANUAL, only a specific signal among the digital signals can be converted into analog stereo signals.

When REC MODE is switched to MANUAL in the middle of reproduc- tion of a digital audio program, only the digital signal of the type being reproduced will be converted into analog stereo signals.

When REC MODE is switched to MANUAL while no source is played, only the PCM signal will be converted into analog stereo signals.
