English

4Start recording on the recording equipment

•If you want to listen to another source, and REC OUT/ZONE 2 is not set to SOURCE/REMOTE, select the source you want to reproduce with INPUT SELECTOR and adjust the volume.

Notes:

•Do a test recording before you start an actual recording.

•When this unit’s power is off, you cannot record between other equipment connected to this unit.

•Operating BASS and TREBLE, BASS EXTENSION, BALANCE, VOLUME, and DSP programs do not affect the recorded signal.

Caution:

•The RF (AC-3) input signal cannot be output using REC OUT/ZONE 2.

■Special considerations when recording DTS software

The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to digitally record the DTS bitstream will result in noise being recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit to record sources that have DTS signals recorded on them, the following considerations need to be made.

For DTS encoded LDs, DVDs, and CDs:

Only 2-channel analog audio signals may be recorded as follows:

Laser Discs:

Set your Laser Disc player’s left and right outputs to the analog soundtrack.

DVDs:

Use the disc menu to set the DVD player’s mixed 2-channel left and right audio outputs to the PCM or Dolby Digital soundtrack.

Compact Discs:

The DTS signal recorded on CDs can only be output as a digital bitstream, and therefore cannot be recorded.
