Recording to a Tape Player

Input signals from an audio source playing in the TGIV can be recorded using the left and right audio outputs. The tape player will receive a straight copy of the analog source signal going in, unaffected by the volume, tone or any sur- round modes. If you are playing a digital source, the tape player will receive a downmixed stereo analog signal for recording.

•Turn OFF the Fully Automatic mode. This is because some tape decks, such as three-head decks, will have an output signal going into the TGIV during record- ing. The DAT or TAPE inputs may be incorrectly selected as an input, rather than the source you are trying to record.

•Manually select the source such as CD and play it through your system.

•Set your tape player to record and adjust the input levels for the best performance. Once the levels are correct, you can reset your source to the beginning and make your recording.

•Do not select another Main Zone input while you are recording.

Recording to a VCR

Any video source playing in the TGIV can be recorded using the left and right audio and the video outputs. The VCR will receive a straight copy of the source signal going in, unaffected by the volume, tone or any surround modes.

• Select the video source and play it

through your system.

• Set your VCR to record.

• Do not select another Main Zone source

while you are recording.

• The VID2/MON2 output can also be used

for recording, but fi rst make sure that it

is set to VID2 in the VIDEO menu of the

OSD (see page 37). This output will then

mute to prevent feedback whenever the

VID2 input source is selected.

• Do not use the OSD while recording as

the incoming video is shut off while the

OSD is displayed
