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).1

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 11 for more on connections).

Since the video converter is not available when making recordings (from the video OUT jacks) make sure to use the same type of video cable for connecting your recorder as you used to connect your video source (the one you want to record) to this receiver. For example, you must connect your recorder using S-video if your source has also been connected using S-video.

For more information about video connections, see Connecting a DVD/HDD recorder, VCR and other video sources on page 14.

a. Only when listening to 2-channel sources in Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music/ Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode.

b.Only when listening to 2-channel sources in Neo:6 Music mode.

c. The initially set AUTO is only available for Dolby TrueHD signals. Select MAX or MID for signals other than Dolby TrueHD.

d.You shouldn’t have any problems using this with most SACD discs, but if the sound distorts, it is best to switch the gain setting back to 0 dB. e. This feature is only available when the connected display supports the automatic audio/video synchronizing capability (‘lip-sync’) for HDMI. If you find the automatically set delay time unsuitable, set A. DELAY to OFF and adjust the delay time manually. For more details about the lip-sync feature of your display, contact the manufacturer directly.

1 Select the source you want to record.

Use the input source buttons (or INPUT SELECT).

•If necessary, press SIGNAL SEL (SIGNAL SELECT) to select the input signal corresponding to the source component (see Choosing the input signal on page 29 for more on this).

2 Prepare the source you want to record.

Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD etc.

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.

Note

1• The receiver’s volume, AV parameters, and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal.

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

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