■Digital Recording

If your recorder has a digital input, by connecting it to the AV receiver’s optical DIGITAL OUT jack, you can record digitally. However, because the AV receiver doesn’t convert analog input signals to digital and vice versa, only input signals connected to a DIGITAL IN jack can be recorded in this way.
