Tape Recording
In normal operation, the audio or video source
selected for listening through the AVR is sent to
the record outputs. This means that any program
you are watching or listening to may be recorded
simply by placing machines connected to the
outputs for Tape Outputs
3
or Video 1
Outputs
P7
in the record mode.
When a digital audio recorder is connected to
any of the Digital Audio Outputs
A
, you are
able to record the digital signal using a CD-R,
MiniDisc or other digital recording system.
Note that all digital signals will be passed
through to both, coaxial and optical, digital
outputs simultanously, no matter which kind of
digital input was selected.
NOTES:
• The digital outputs are active only when a digital
signal is present, and they do not convert an
analog input to a digital signal, or change the
format of the digital signal (e.g. Dolby Digital to
PCM or vice versa, but coaxial digital signals are
converted to optical signals and vice versa). In
additon, the digital recorder must be compatible
with the output signal. For example, the PCM
digital output from a CD player may be recorded
on a CD-R or MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital or DTS
signals may not.
• To make an analog recording from a digital
source is possible, but only from a PCM source
(not Dolby Digital or DTS) and correctly only with
"Surround Off" mode (with any Surround mode
only the L/R front signals will be fed to the record
outputs).

.The lower line will
display the elapsed time of the track on the left,
the play mode icon, and the time remaining on
the right.
In addition, if a video display is connected to the
AVR, a screen will appear briefly to display
information about the iPod’s status and the
track.The top line will display the play mode
icon, with the phrase “Now Playing” appearing
to the right to remind you that you are viewing
the status of the current track, as opposed to
another menu screen. Below that the AVR
displays the total number of tracks in the current
play list on the right (all materials on the iPod are
considered one of the play lists) with the number
of the current track on the left.
The song title, artist and album are displayed.At
the bottom of the screen is a graphic bar indicat-
ing the current play position within the track,
with the elapsed and remaining times appearing
below the bar.
After a period of time the screen may disappear
from view. The length of time is set using the
Full-OSD Time Out setting in the System Settings
menu (described in the Advanced Functions sec-
tion).You may restore the Now Playing screen to
view by pressing either of the

, and you may then navigate the menus
as explained above.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you use a
screen saver built into your video display to avoid
possible damage from “burn-in” that may occur
with plasma and many CRT displays when a still
image, such as a menu screen, remains on dis-
play for an extended period of time.
NOTES ON VIDEO PLAYBACK:
• Before attempting to play videos stored on
your iPod, check the Video Settings menu on
the iPod and make sure that the TV Out setting
is set to On.The TV Signal setting should be
PAL to match the capabilities of your video dis-
play. Set Widescreen to On or Off, depending
on the aspect ratio of your video display. If your
selection was playing and paused at the time
you changed the TV Out setting, the iPod may
require you to navigate its menu system and
reselect the video for the new TV Out setting to
take effect. Resuming play from the Now
Playing function may not reflect the change to
the TV Out setting.This is a function of the
iPod, not the AVR 147.
• In Video mode, the iPod’s menus will not be
visible on your video display, although you may
view them on the iPod’s screen.You may
operate the iPod using the AVR remote, as long
as it is in The Bridge device mode.
• You may view the AVR’s on-screen displays
while The Bridge is in use, just as you would
with any other video source.
