Onkyo PR-SC885 Recording the Input Source, Recording from Different AV Sources

Recording

This section explains how to record the input source and how to record audio and video from separate sources.

Notes:

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

•Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.

•Sources connected to the analog multichannel input cannot be recorded.

•Various restrictions apply to digital recording. Refer to the manuals supplied with your digital recording equipment for more details.

•Digital input signals are output by only the digital out- puts, and analog input signals are output by only the analog outputs. There is no internal conversion from digital to analog or vice versa.

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

•While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the VCR/DVR OUT V and S jacks don’t output video sig- nals, so select another mode when recording.

Recording the Input Source

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cas- sette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TAPE OUT or DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT jacks. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVR) con- nected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks. See pages 26 to 42 for hookup information.

Recording from Different AV Sources

You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by simultaneously recording audio and video from two sep- arate sources. This is possible because only the audio source is switched when an audio-only input source, such as TAPE, TUNER, or CD, is selected, the video source remains the same.

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 2 INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.
