REC OUT

1Turn on the power to this unit and all connected component.

2Select the source component you want to record using REC OUT.

•To record the current source, set REC OUT to SOURCE.

•To record a source that you do not want to reproduce, set REC OUT to the source you want to record.

3Start playback (or select a broadcast station) on the source component.

4Start recording on the recording component.

•If you want to listen to another source, and REC OUT is not set to SOURCE, select the source you want to reproduce with the 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 component connected to this unit.

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

■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:

• LDs:

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.

• CDs:

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