Basic Operations

Recording

This receiver makes it easy to record to and from the components connected to the receiver. You don’t have to connect playback and recording components directly: once you select a program source on the receiver, you can record and edit from the on-screen display as you normally would using the controls on each component.

Before you begin, make sure you’ve connected all components properly.
