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 Disc/DVDs cannot be recorded.

• Sources connected to a digital input cannot be recorded. Only analog inputs can be recorded.

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.

1	Use the input selector buttons to select the source
	that you want to record.
	You can watch the source while recording. The AV
	receiver’s MASTER VOLUME control has no effect
	on recording.
2	On your recorder, start recording.

1 Prepare the camcorder and CD player for play- back.

2 Prepare the VCR for recording.

3 Press AUX input selector.

4 Press TV/CD input selector.

This selects the CD player as the audio source, but leaves the camcorder as the video source.

5 Start recording on the VCR and start playback on the camcorder and CD player.

The video from the camcorder and the audio from the CD player are recorded by the VCR.
