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 the operating instructions of your VCR or LD player if you need help.
1 Select the program source to be recorded.
2 Prepare the component for playing. For example, insert the laser disc you want to record into the LD player.
3 Insert a blank video tape into the VCR (VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2) for recording.
4 Start recording on the recording VCR,
then start playing the video tape or laser disc you want to record.

Recording (continued)

Notes

•You cannot record a digital audio signal using a component connected to the analog TAPE OUT or MD/DAT OUT jacks (STR-DB1070) or the analog MD/TAPE OUT jacks (STR-DB870). To record a digital audio signal, connect a digital component to the DIGITAL MD/DAT OUT jacks (STR-DB1070) or the DIGITAL MD/TAPE OUT jacks (STR-DB870).

•Sound adjustments do not affect the signal output from the TAPE OUT or MD/DAT OUT jacks (STR-DB1070) or the MD/TAPE OUT jacks (STR-DB870).

•The analog audio signals of the current function is output from the REC OUT jacks. When you use AUDIO SPLIT to assign a digital audio input (for example, MD/DAT OPTICAL), the analog audio signals of the assigned audio (for example, MD/ DAT ANALOG) is output.

•When MULTI/2CH A. DIRECT is set to MULTI DIRECT (for STR-DB1070, MULTI 1 or 2 DIRECT), audio signals are not output from REC OUT jacks.

•No signals output from DIGITAL OUT jacks (MD/ DAT OPT OUT) when you set MULTI/2CH A. DIRECT to 2CH ANALOG DIRECT. The digital circuitry power is cut off to ensure a superior sound quality.

Tip

You can record the sound from any audio source onto a video tape while copying from a video tape or laser disc. Locate 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. To resume audio recording from the original medium, select the video source again.

Notes

•Make sure to make both digital and analog connections to the TV/SAT and DVD/LD inputs. Analog recording is not possible if you make only digital connections.

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

•The analog audio signals of the current function is output from the REC OUT jacks. When you use AUDIO SPLIT to assign a digital audio input (for example, MD/DAT OPTICAL), the analog audio signals of the assigned audio (for example, MD/ DAT ANALOG) is output.

•When MULTI/2CH A. DIRECT is set to MULTI DIRECT (for STR-DB1070, MULTI 1 or 2 DIRECT), audio signals are not output from REC OUT jacks.

Using the Sleep Timer

You can set the receiver to turn off automatically at a specified time.

Press SLEEP on the front panel (except for models of area code CEL) or on the remote while the power is on.

Each time you press the button, the display changes cyclically as follows:

2:00:00 t 1:30:00 t 1:00:00 t 0:30:00 t

OFF

The display dims after you have specified the time. While using Sleep Timer, “SLEEP” lights up in the display.
