1 Select the source you want to record.

Use the input source buttons (or INPUT SELECT).

•If necessary, press SIGNAL SELECT to select the input signal corresponding to the source component (see Choosing the input signal on page 32 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.

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

To use this feature, you must set ZONE2/RECSEL to RECSEL in the ZONE Audio Setup. For details, see ZONE Audio Setup on page 66.

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 12 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.

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.

Tip

•If you have a digital recorder connected to the DIGITAL OUT1 (ZONE3) digital output and ZONE 3 is switched on (see Using the MULTI-ZONE controls on page 58), you can also select a different input source for this output while ZONE 3 shows in the display.

Playing a different source when recording

Using this receiver, it’s possible to listen to a different analog source than the one you’re recording.
