Making an audio or a video recording

You can make an audio or a video recording from the built-in tuner, or from an audio or video source connected to the receiver (such as a CD player or TV).2

Keep in mind you can’t make a digital recording from an analog source or vice-versa, so make sure the components you are recording to/from are hooked up in the same way (see Connecting your equipment on page 14 for more on connections).

Since the video converter is not available when making recordings (from the video OUT jacks) make sure to use the same type of video cable for connecting your recorder as you used to connect your video source (the one you want to record) to this receiver. For example, you must connect your recorder using Component video if your source has also been connected using Component video.

For more information about video connections, see Connecting a HDD/DVD recorder, VCR and other video sources on page 27.

1Select the source you want to record. Use the input function buttons (or INPUT SELECT).

2Prepare the source you want to record. Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD etc.

3Prepare the recorder.

Insert a blank tape, MD, video etc. into the recording device and set the recording levels.

Launched with a focus on delivering superior sound quality and advanced functionality, the 1020 model exemplifies Pioneer's commitment to providing an immersive audio experience for home theater enthusiasts.

One of the main features of the Pioneer 1020 is its support for high-definition audio formats, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.
