Recording on a video tape
You can record from a VCR, a TV, or an LD player using the receiver. You can also add audio from a variety of audio sources when editing a video tape. See your VCR or LD player’s instruction manual if you need help.
1Select the program source to be recorded.
2Prepare the component for playing.
For example, insert the laser disc you want to record into the LD player.
3Insert a blank video tape into the VCR (VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2) for recording.
4Start recording on the recording VCR, then start playing the video tape or laser disc you want to record.
zYou can record the sound from any audio source onto a video tape while copying from a video tape or laser disc
After locating the point where you want to start recording from another audio source, select the program source, then start playback. The audio from that source will be recorded onto the audio track of the video tape instead of the audio from the original medium.
For example, if you want to record video from the component connected to the VIDEO 1 jacks and audio from the component connected to the CD jacks:
1 Rotate FUNCTION to select VIDEO 1.
2 Press MODE repeatedly to display “A:XXX”
3 Rotate FUNCTION to display “A: CD.”
See “MODE button” on page 22 for details on use of the MODE button.
To resume audio recording from the original medium, perform the procedure above to select the video source again.
