• The AV receiver must be turned on for recording. Recording is not possible while it’s in Standby mode.

•If you want to record directly from your TV or playback VCR to the recording VCR without going through the AV receiver, con-

nect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the
recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals sup-
plied with your TV and VCR for details.
• Video signals connected to composite video inputs can be
recorded only via composite video outputs. If your TV/VCR is
connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR must
be connected to a composite video output.
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be
recorded.
• Copy-protected Blu-ray Disc/DVDs cannot be recorded.
• Sources connected to a digital input cannot be recorded. Only
