DIGITAL COPY

Select the digital source of the DIGITAL output with or button for digital dubbing to the CD-R recorder or MD deck.

The source is switched in the following sequence.

SOURCE DIG.1 DIG.2 DIG.3 DIG.4 OFF SOURCE To determine each source, display the desired source and press the OK button or / button.

Notes:

VCR1 and TAPE outputs can only send a signal from an analog source connected to the AV9000. If you select a source which is only connected to a digital input, no signal will be available to ouput to a VCR1 or TAPE deck from the analog output. If you expect to do dubbing from digital source equipment to analog equipment, then you should connect the digital equipment's analog outputs into the AV9000's analog inputs in addition to making the digital connections. Conversely, a digital source may only be dubbed using the DIGITAL output, which must in turn be connected to a digital input of a digital recording device such as the DR-700 or DR-17 CD recorder.

Remember-you can only dub analog to analog or digital to digital.
