How Do I Record (Edit Mode)?

Digital to Digital Recording

The PCM digital signal input through any DIGITAL IN jack is output digitally at the digital jack. For more information on this connection, see “Connecting Your MD Recorder or Primary Tape Deck” on page 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 reproduction 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.

To set the Digital Rec mode:

1.Touch the (Src.) or (Dst.) so that (Src.) is reversed.

2.Select (digital rec. auto) or (digital rec. Manual).

3.When (digital rec. auto) or (digital rec. Manual) is selected, the receiver displays "REC MODE: AUTO" or "REC MODE: MANUAL".

It is not possible to recording monitor a digital source signal onto the device connected to the CD2/TAPE2 MONITOR input.

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.
