•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.

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

Tip

You can record the sound from any audio source onto a video tape while copying from a video tape or DVD. 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.
