Notes:

•The 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 receiver, connect the TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to the recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See the manuals supplied 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.

•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.

•If Pure Audio is turned on, no video signal is output from the receiver. If you want to make recordings, select another listening mode.

Connecting the Power Cord

Connect the receiver’s power cord to a suitable wall outlet.

Notes:

•Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.

•Turning on the receiver may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the receiver into a different branch circuit.
