08Using other functions

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.

Reducing the level of an analog signal

The input attenuator lowers the input level of an analog signal when it’s too strong. You can use this if you find that the OVER indicator lights often or you can hear distortion in the sound.1

•Press RECEIVER , then press A.ATT to switch the input attenuator on or off.

Using the sleep timer

The sleep timer switches the receiver into standby after a specified amount of time so you can fall asleep without worrying about the receiver being left on all night. Use the remote control to set the sleep timer.

•Press RECEIVER , then press SLEEP repeatedly to set the sleep time.
