y

•Setting REC OUT to SOURCE and using the BGV function (see page 29) allows the recording of audio and video from a different source.

Notes

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

•When this unit is set in the standby mode, you cannot record between other components connected to this unit.

•The setting of BASS, TREBLE, BASS EXTENSION, VOLUME, “3 L/R BALANCE” on the SET MENU and DSP programs does not affect the recorded material.

•A source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this unit cannot be recorded.

•S-video and composite video signals pass independently through this unit’s video circuits. Therefore, when recording or dubbing video signals, if your video source component is connected to provide only an S-video (or only a composite video) signal, you can record only an S-video (or only a composite video) signal by your VCR.

•A given input source is not output on the same REC OUT channel. (For example, the signal input from VCR 1 IN is not output on VCR 1 OUT.)

•Check the copyright laws in your country to record from records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws.

If you playback a video source that uses scrambled or encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, the picture itself may be disturbed due to those signals.

■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 and adjustments need to be made.

For LDs, DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS, when your player is compatible with the DTS format, follow its operation instruction to make a setting so that the analog signal will be output from the player.

■Timer playback/recording

This unit can perform playback or recording with an external timer (not supplied). Refer to the operation instruction for the component and the timer to be used.

Notes

•The stored data such as input source will be reflected in the playback or recording with the timer.

•If you do not want any sound output during the recording with a timer, turn the volume down.

Memory back-up

The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data (input source, volume level, set menu settings and so on) from being lost even if this unit is in the standby mode (disconnected from the AC outlet). However if the timer is turned off for more than one week, the stored data will be lost.
