Using Other Functions

Recording from Audio Components

The following explanations show you how to record an analog or digital audio signal. Note that your analog components cannot record a player that is only connected digitally (and vice-versa). If you want to record from a digital component to an analog one (for example, a tape deck), or vice-versa, the digital component it must be connected via analog jacks and you need to set the SIGNAL SELECT switch to ANALOG. To make exact digital copies (of digital sources like CDs) both the source component and the recorder must be connected with digital connections. See p.12 for more on analog audio connections and p.13 for digital audio connections.

The receiver's volume, channel level, balance, TONE, DNR, MIDNIGHT, LOUDNESS and surround ef- memo fects have no effect on the recorded signal and the MULTI CH IN cannot be recorded.

In some cases, digital recordings have copy guard protections and making a digital copy is not possible. In this case you can only copy them in an analog manner.

Recording from Video Components

The following operations show you how to record audio and video to the video tape recorder connected to the VCR 1 / DVR or VCR 2 jacks. Note that all signals coming out of these jacks will be analog and it is not possible to record Dolby Digital/DTS soundtracks.
