Recording from Digital Audio Components

The following explanations show you how to record digital audio. Using this method you can make exact digital copies of sources like CDs or MDs. The only drawback is that you cannot switch between various recorders at the touch of a button like you can with analog recordings (see the previous page). If you look on the back of the receiver you will find 2 digital out jacks which are marked PCM/2/DTS/ (these are to the right of the digital in jacks in the upper left-hand corner). If you connect one of these to the optical input on a digital recorder (currently these include MD, DAT, and CD-R), you can make direct digital recordings with this unit. Of course, the digital components you want to record, all need to be connected to the receiver with digital inputs as well. See p.13 if you have not made these connections.

memo The receiver’s volume, channel level, tone (BASS, TREBLE, and LOUDNESS), and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal.

1Prepare the source you want to record and put the receiver in that function. Set

SIGNAL SELECT to DIGITAL.

Press the SIGNAL SELECT button on the remote control (or use the button on the front panel) and choose DIGITAL.

2Start recording with a CD-R or MD (etc.).

3Play back the source to be recorded.

memo In some cases, digital recordings have copy guard protections on them and making a digital copy is not possible. It is still possible to copy these digital sources if you have hooked the components up with analog connections (in this case, the copies will not be exact digital reproductions). Refer to the

previous page in this case.

Recording from Video Components

The following operations show you how to record audio and video to the video tape recorder connected to the VCR 1, VCR 2 or DVR jacks. Note that all signals coming out of these jacks will be analog and it is not possible to record Dolby Digital/DTS soundtracks.

memo The receiver's volume, channel level, balance, TONE, DIGITAL NR, MIDNIGHT, LOUDNESS and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal.
