Pioneer Audio and Video Recording Instructions for Receivers

08Making 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).

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 pages 13– 19 for more on connections).

If you want to record a video source, you also need use the same type of connection for the source as for the recorder. For example, you can’t record a component hooked up to S-video jacks with a recorder hooked up to the compo- nent video outputs (see page 18 for more on video connections).

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 MULTI CONTROL buttons on the remote (or MULTI JOG/INPUT SELECTOR dial on the front panel).

2Select the input signal (if necessary). Press SIGNAL SEL (SIGNAL SELECT) to select the input signal corresponding to the source component (see page 34 for more on this).

3Prepare the source you want to record. Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD etc.

4Prepare 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
