Onkyo HT-RC160 instruction manual 1 2 3, AV Recording, Recording Separate AV Sources, Notes

Recording

This section explains how to record the selected input source to a component with recording capability, and how to record audio and video from different sources.

Notes:

•The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded.

•Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.

•Only analog inputs can be recorded.

•DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.

AV Recording

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cas- sette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TV/TAPE OUT jack. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVD recorder) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jack. See page 29 or 34 for hookup information.

Recording Separate AV Sources

Here you can record audio and video from completely separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact that when an audio-only input source (i.e., TV/ TAPE, CD) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged.

In the following example, audio from the CD player con- nected to the CD IN, and video from the camcorder con- nected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

Use the input selector buttons to select the source that you want to record.

You can watch the source while record- ing. The AV receiver’s MASTER VOL- UME control has no effect on recording.

On your recorder, start record- ing.

On the source component, start playback.

If you select another input source dur- ing recording, that input source will be recorded.
