Recording

This chapter explains how to record the selected input source to an AV component with recording capability, and how to record audio and video from two different sources.

Recording the Input Source

You can record only to AV components that are con- nected to the TAPE OUT or VIDEO 1 OUT sockets. See pages 22–30 for information on connecting your AV components to the AV Receiver.

1		Use the input selector buttons to
	DVDVIDEO 1	select the AV component that
		you want to record.

Recording from Different AV Sources

With this function you can record audio and video from different sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact that when an audio-only input source (i.e., TAPE, TUNER, or CD) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged. For example, if you first select the VIDEO 3 input source, followed by the CD input source, you can watch the video from the VIDEO 3 input and listen to the audio from the CD input.

In the following example, audio from the CD player con- nected to the CD IN sockets, and video from the cam- corder connected to the VIDEO 3 INPUT VIDEO socket are recorded by the VCR, which is connected to the

Notes:

•You cannot record from AV components that are con- nected to the digital inputs. You must use analog con- nections.

•The surround effects produced by the surround and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded.

•You cannot record from an AV component that is con- nected to the multichannel input.

•If you select another input source while recording, that input source will be recorded instead.

1.Prepare the camcorder and CD player for playback.

2.Prepare the VCR for recording.

3.Press the [VIDEO 3] input selector but- ton.
