Recording from a source

If you wish to record from a source you must select it with SOURCE SELECTOR. The incoming signal is reproduced by all audio and – if the source includes a video signal – video outputs of the receiver. The sound settings do not affect the recording.

MX 980D only) to select the source you want to record from. yThe name of the source is displayed.

2Prepare the desired recording appliance. It must be connected to one of the outputs of the receiver.

4Start the playback of the source as usual.

Note: – The audio and video signal of VCR IN is not reproduced by VCR OUT. The same applies to the audio signal of CDR/TAPE IN to CDR/TAPE OUT.

We recommend not to use the digital output

COAX OUT of the receiver to record from an analog source. Use the analog output CDR/TAPE instead.

From a source which is connected to the

6 CHANNEL / DVD INPUT audio input cannot be recorded.

Recording from the digital output

It is possible to connect a digital recorder to the digital output of the receiver. In this way, all signals coming from the digital inputs can be recorded directly on the connected audio recorder. The receiver will also convert all signals coming from the analog inputs to the digital output.

The receiver can be used to record digitally a multichannel surround sound audio signal (Dolby Digital or DTS) from, for example, DVD to CD-R. The receiver will convert the digital multichannel signal into a stereo signal without loss of relevant sound information.

Notes: – Do not use the 3D SURROUND feature while making digital recordings as this will distort the digital audio signal (FR 965, MX 960D only).

When recording a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, each track must be recorded individually.

Digital recording is not possible when the digital source material is copy-protected.
