Recording

Before you begin, make sure you’ve connected

all components properly.

Recording on an audio tape

or MiniDisc

You can record on a MiniDisc or cassette tape

using the receiver. See the operating

instructions of your cassette deck or MD deck

if you need help.

1 Select the component to be recorded.

2 Prepare the component for playing.

For example, insert a CD into the CD

player.

3 Insert a blank tape or MD into the

recording deck and adjust the

recording level, if necessary.

4 Start recording on the recording deck,

then start playback on the playback

component.

Notes

• You cannot record a digital audio signal using a

component connected to the analog TAPE OUT or

MD/DAT OUT jacks. To record a digital audio

signal, connect a digital component to the

DIGITAL MD/DAT OUT jacks.

• Sound adjustments do not affect the signal output

from the TAPE OUT or MD/DAT OUT jacks.

• The analog audio signals of the current function is

output from the REC OUT jacks.

• The signals input to the MULTI CH IN jacks are

not output from the REC OUT jacks even when

MULTI CH DIRECT is selected. The analog audio

signals of the current function are output.

• No signals are output from DIGITAL OUT jacks

(MD/DAT OPTICAL OUT) when ANALOG

DIRECT is selected. The digital circuitry power is

cut off to ensure superior sound quality when

“D.POWER” is set to “AUTO OFF”.

Recording on a video tape

You can record from a VCR, a TV, or an LD

player using the receiver. You can also add

audio from a variety of audio sources when

editing a video tape. See the operating

instructions of your VCR or LD player if you

need help.

1 Select the program source to be

recorded.

2 Prepare the component for playing.

For example, insert the laser disc you want

to record into the LD player.

3 Insert a blank video tape into the VCR

(VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2) for recording.

4 Start recording on the recording VCR,

then start playing the video tape or

laser disc you want to record.

Tip

You can record the sound from any audio source onto

a video tape while copying from a video tape or laser

disc. Locate the point where you want to start

recording from another audio source, select the

program source, then start playback. The audio from

that source will be recorded onto the audio track of

the video tape instead of the audio from the original

medium. To resume audio recording from the original

medium, select the video source again.

Notes

• You cannot record a digital audio signal using a

component connected to the analog VIDEO 1 OUT

or VIDEO 2 OUT jacks.

• Make sure to make both digital and analog

connections to the TV/SAT and DVD/LD inputs.

Analog recording is not possible if you make only

digital connections.

• Some sources contain copy guards to prevent

recording. In this case, you may not be able to

record from the sources.
