Recording the Input Source

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette tape deck, CDR, MD recorder). Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVD recorder).

1 Prepare the recorder:

• Set the recorder so that it’s ready for recording.

• If necessary, adjust the recording level on the recorder.

• See the recorder’s manual for more information.

2 Use the receiver’s [INPUT] selector, or the

remote controller’s INPUT SELECTOR buttons to select the component that you want to record from.

3 Start playback on the component selected in step 1.

Notes:

•If you select another input source during recording, the newly selected input source will be recorded.

•The volume, balance, mute and tone controls have no effect on the signal being recorded.

Recording Audio and Video from Separate Sources

You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by simultaneously recording audio and video from two separate sources. This is possible because the audio source is recorded when an audio-only input source, such as TAPE, TUNER, or CD is selected; the video source can be recorded simultaneously when a video input source is connected to BD/DVD, CBL/SAT or GAME.

In the following example, audio from the CD player connected to the CD IN jacks and video from the camcorder connected to the GAME IN jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.

1 Prepare the camcorder and CD player for playback.

2 Prepare the VCR for recording.

3 Press the remote controller’s [GAME] INPUT SELECTOR button.

4 Press the remote controller’s [CD] INPUT SELECTOR button.

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

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

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