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).3

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 an HDD/DVD recorder, VCR and other video sources on page 28.

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

If necessary, press RECEIVER , then press SIGNAL SEL to select the input signal corresponding to the source component (see Choosing the input signal on page 57 for more on this).

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

Note

1The volume levels of the main and sub zone are independent.

2• You won’t be able to switch the main zone off completely unless you’ve switched off the MULTI-ZONE control first.

If you don’t plan to use the MULTI-ZONE feature for a while, turn off the power in both the sub and main rooms so that this receiver is in standby.

3• The receiver’s volume, Audio 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.
