Section 6.0 Using the Tape Inputs and Outputs
RECORDING AUDIO/VIDEO, AUDIO ONLY AND DIGITAL AUDIO/VIDEO
The SSP-60 does NOT send decoded digital information to the record outputs. You must connect a two-channel
analog feed from a source to AV1-AV6 or AUD1-AUD4 in order to be able to record it. The Source being played in
the Main area appears at the three Record Outputs.
There is one TOSlink digital audio output. It does not matter which style of Digital input is selected. The data
available is the same data as input to the currently selected digital audio Source. This data can be delivered to
and recorded by a digital VCR. Since there is only one Digital output, if you wish to send the data to a recorder
and another processor, use the Digital output of the recorder to send the signal to the second processor.
6.1 RECORDING AUDIO/VIDEO, ANALOG
Setup for recording Audio and Video to an analog VCR is described below. The PLAY input and REC output are a
tape loop, so you cannot record anything fed to PLAY, except at the two-channel only REC1 and REC2 outputs.
When the primary source is digital you must be sure you connect the analog output from the digital source to the
same SOURCE the digital audio is assigned to.
6.1.1 DVD _ SSP. Use a two channel analog audio cable to connect the analog output (mixed two channel) of the
DVD player or Satellite receiver, etc, that you wish to record, to the analog input of the SOURCE the digital input
is assigned. This must not be VIDEO 6.
6.1.2 DVD _ SSP. Use an S-Video or Composite video cable to connect the video out of the DVD player or Satellite
receiver, etc. , that you wish to record, to the same SOURCE the digital input is assigned to, and to which the
analog audio is connected. (S-Video will convert to Composite, but not vice-versa). Do not connect to VIDEO 6.
NOTE: Component Video does not convert to either of the other formats, so you must connect S-Video or
Composite Video. Although your best viewing may be through Component Video, you cannot record it through
the SSP-60.
6.1.3 VCR _ SSP. Use a two channel analog audio cable to connect the analog output from
your VCR to the AV 6 analog Inputs.
6.1.4 SSP _ VCR. Use a two channel analog audio cable to connect the Record Output connectors of the SSP-60 to
the audio input connectors of the recording component.
6.1.5 VCR _ SSP. Use an S-Video or Composite video cable to connect the video out of your VCR to the VIDEO 6 S-
Video or Composite video input.
6.1.6 SSP _ VCR. Use an S-Video or Composite video cable to connect the S-Video or Composite video record outputs
of the SSP-60 to the S-Video or Composite video input of the VCR.
6.1.6.1 Follow the usual VCR instructions for recording. The record output at REC, REC1, REC2, always follows the input
on VIDEO 1 through VIDEO 6.
