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.

Connecting a Recording Component

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 (TV/CD) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged.

In the following example, audio from the CD player con- nected to the TV/CD IN and video from the camcorder connected to the BD/DVD IN are recorded by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

Note

 

 

 

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 discs and DVDs cannot be recorded.

Sources connected to a digital input 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., cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVD recorder) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jack.
