			Recording Separate AV Sources
			Here you can record audio and video from completely

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 controller,

connect 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.

vided because the power is turned off for the video circuit. If you	CD player	VCR
