RECORDING

Recording adjustments and other operations are performed from the recording components. Refer to the operating instructions for those components.

CAUTION

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 encoded in DTS, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made. To play DTS-encoded DVDs and CDs (when using a digital audio connection) on your DTS-compatible player, follow its operating instructions to make a setting so that the analog signal will be output from the player.

Notes

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

•The settings of TONE CONTROL (see page 32), VOLUME, the speaker level (see page 80) and the sound field programs (see page 64) do not affect the recorded material.

•The source connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks of this unit cannot be recorded.

•S-video and composite video signals pass independently through the video circuits of this unit. Therefore, when recording or dubbing video signals input from a video source component that provides only an S-video or a composite video signal, you can record only an S-video or a composite video signal on your VCR.

•Digital signals input at the DIGITAL INPUT jacks are not output at the analog AUDIO OUT (REC) jacks for recording. Likewise, analog signals input at the AUDIO IN or PORTABLE jacks are not output at the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack. Therefore, if your source component is connected to provide only digital or analog signals, you can only record digital or analog signals.

•A given input source is not output on the same OUT (REC) channel.

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

•The XM Satellite Radio (U.S.A. model only) signals cannot be output at the AUDIO OUT (REC) jacks.

•The analog audio signals input at the DOCK terminal can be output at the analog AUDIO OUT (REC) jacks for recording.

y

Do a test recording before you start an actual recording.

If you play back 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.
