Making Recordings

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) through the analog jacks. You will need to connect a CD recorder, tape deck, MD, VCR, or DVR deck to the CD-R/TAPE/MD or VCR/DVR outputs on the receiver to do so (see pages 12–14 for more on this).

The receiver's volume, balance, tone (bass, treble, loudness), and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal.

1Select the source you want to record. Use the INPUT SELECTOR buttons on the remote (or MULTI JOG/INPUT SELECTOR dial on the front panel).

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

3Prepare the recorder (connected to either the CD-R/TAPE/MD or VCR/DVR outputs).

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.

Monitoring your recording

You can listen to (monitor) the recording as it's being made using the MONITOR button on the front panel (a cassette deck would have to have a record monitor function).

•Press the MONITOR button to switch between the recorded signal and the original source signal.
