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).

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 15 for more on connections).

Note that when recording video, you won’t be able to record sources connected to the component video inputs. With composite and S-video sources, make sure they are connected using the same type of video cable as you used to connect the recorder to the receiver.

For more information about video connections, see Connecting a VCR or DVD recorder on page 22 and Connecting other video sources on page 23.

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

Note

•The receiver's volume, tone (bass, treble, Midnight, Loudness), and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal. (The exception to this is PHONO, which is best recorded using stereo DIRECT.)

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

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

Adjusting the delay of a soundtrack

• Default setting: 0.0 frame

Some monitors have a slight delay when showing video, so the soundtrack will be slightly out of sync with the picture. By adding a bit of delay, you can adjust the sound to match the presentation of the video.
