Note: – The audio and video signal of VCR IN is not
reproduced by VCR OUT. The same applies to the
audio signal ofCDR/TAPE IN to CDR/TAPE OUT.
We recommend not to use the digital output
COAXOUT of the receiver to record from an analog
source. Use the analog output CDR/TAPEinstead.
– From a source which is connected to the
6CHANNEL / DVD INPUT audio input cannot be
recorded.
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.
