Receiver Operations

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.

2Set the component to be ready for playing. For example, insert the laser disc you want to record from 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 and then start playing the video tape or laser disc you want to record.

zYou can record sound from a different 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.

To resume audio recording from the original, select the video source again.

Note

You cannot record audio from a program source connected to the LD/DVD IN AC-3 RF/OPTICAL or LD/DVD jack (STR-DE915 only) or 5.1 INPUT jacks (STR-DE715/DE615/ D660Z/D560Z only).
