*(Except for models of area code CEK)

When the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR is set to “8Ω”, connect the speakers with a nominal impedance of

16 ohms or higher. When the IMPEDANCE SELECTOR is set to “4Ω”, connect the speakers

with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher. For details, see “Speaker impedance” on page 14.

(Models of area code CEK only)

If you connect speakers to both SPEAKERS FRONT A and B terminals, connect the speakers with a nominal impedance of 16 ohms or higher.

Recording

Before you begin, make sure you have connected all components properly.

Recording on an audio tape or MiniDisc

You can record on a cassette tape or MiniDisc using the receiver. See the operating instructions of your cassette deck or MD deck if you need help.

1 Select the component to be recorded.2 Prepare the component for playing.

For example, insert a CD into the CD player.

3 Insert a blank tape or MiniDisc into the recording deck and adjust the recording level, if necessary.

4 Start recording on the recording deck, then start playback on the playback component.

Notes

•You cannot record a digital audio signal using a component connected to the analog MD/TAPE OUT jacks. To record a digital audio signal, connect a digital component to the DIGITAL OPTICAL MD/TAPE OUT jack.

•Sound adjustments do not affect the signal output from the MD/TAPE OUT jacks.

•The analog audio signals of the current input is output from the MD/TAPE OUT jacks.

•The signals input to the MULTI CH IN jacks are not output from the MD/TAPE OUT jacks even when MULTI CH IN is being used. The analog audio signals of the current or previously used input are output.

•No signals are output from DIGITAL OPTICAL MD/TAPE OUT jack when ANALOG DIRECT function is being used. The digital circuitry power is cut off to ensure superior sound quality when “D.PWR XXX” is set to “D.PWR OFF”.

•Some sources contain copy guards to prevent recording. In this case, you may not be able to record from the sources.
