b.Only when listening to 2-channel sources in Neo:6 Music mode.

c.You shouldn't have any problems using this with most SACD discs, but if the sound distorts, it is best to switch the gain setting back to 0dB.

3 Prepare the recorder.

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.

4Start recording, then start playback of the source component.

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). 1

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 10 for more on connections).

You can record using different video connections interchangeably, but you won’t be able to record sources connected to the HDMI input. See About the video converter on page 11 for more on this.

For more information about video connections, see Connecting a DVD/HDD recorder, VCR and other video sources on page 13.

1During recording, press the REC SELECT CONTROL button on the front panel until RECOUT shows in the display.2

2While RECOUT shows in the display, use the

INPUT SELECTOR dial to select the source you want to record.

When RECOUT SOURCE shows in the display, you will hear the source you’re currently listening to. After RECOUT disappears from the display, you can select the input source you want to hear from the main system without affecting your recording.3

Tip

•If you have a digital recorder connected to the DIGITAL OUT1 (ROOM3) digital output and ZONE 3 is switched on (see Using the multi-room controls on page 56), you can also select a different input source for this output while ZONE 3 shows in the display.

•If necessary, press SIGNAL SELECT to select the input signal corresponding to the source component (see Choosing the input signal on page 28 for more on this).

2 Prepare the source you want to record.

Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD etc.

Note

1.• The receiver's volume, AV parameters (the tone controls, for example), and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal.

•Some digital sources are copy-protected, and can only be recorded in analog.

•Some video sources are copy-protected. These cannot be recorded.

2.If RECOUT does not appear in the display, you may have to switch ZONE 2 off by pressing MULTI ROOM & SOURCE ON/OFF and selecting either ZONE 3 or off (the MULTI-ROOMindicator disappears). See Using the multi-room controls on page 56 for more on this.

3.Note that switching the ROOM 2 input source (as explained in Multi-room listening on page 55) also changes the RECOUT input source.
