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) through the analog jacks. You will need to connect a CD recorder, tape deck, MD, VCR, or DVR deck to the CD-R/TAPE/MDor DVR/VCR outputs on the receiver to do so (see pages 13–14 for more on this).

•The receiver's volume, balance, tone (bass, treble, loudness), and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal.

1Select the source you want to record. Use the INPUT SELECTOR buttons to do this.

2Select the input signal (if necessary). Press SIGNAL SELECT on the front panel to select the input signal corresponding to the source component (see page 29 for more on this).

3Prepare the source you want to record. Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD etc.

4Prepare the recorder (connected to either the CD-R/TAPE/MD or DVR/VCR outputs).

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

Refer to the instructions that came with the recorder if you are unsure how to do this. Most video recorders set the audio recording level automatically—check the component’s instruction manual if you’re unsure.

5Start recording, then start playback of the source component.
