AV Recording
Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (such
as a cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the VCR
OUT jacks. Video sources can be recorded to a
video recorder (such as a VCR or DVD recorder)
connected to the VCR/DVR Out jack.
To record an audio source:
1 Use the input selector buttons to select the
source that you want to record. You can watch
the source while recording. The receiver’s
MASTER VOLUME control has no effect on
recording.
2 Start recording on your recorder.
3 On the source component, start playback. If you
select another input source during recording,
that input source will be recorded.
Recording Separate AV Sources
You can record audio and video from completely
separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio
onto your video recordings. This function takes
advantage of the fact that when an audio-only
input source (TV/CD) is selected, the video input
source remains unchanged.
In the following example, audio from the CD player
connected to the TV/CD IN jack and video from the
camcorder connected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO
jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the
VCR/DVR OUT jacks.
To record separate AV sources:
1 Prepare the camcorder and CD player for
playback and the VCR for recording.
2 Press the AUX input selector.
3 Press the TV/CD input selector. This selects the
CD player as the audio source, but leaves the
camcorder as the video source.
4 Start recording on the VCR and start playback
on the camcorder and CD player. The video from
the camcorder and the audio from the CD player
are recorded by the VCR.
Connecting the power
To connect your receiver to power:
• Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
Using rubber feet/pads for more stable
speakers
We recommend using the rubber feet (provided) to
achieve the best possible sound from your
speakers. The rubber feet prevent the speakers
from moving, providing a more stable platform.
Notes
• The AV receiver must be turned on for
recording. Recording is not possible while it’s in
Standby mode.
• If you want to record directly from your TV or
playback VCR to the recording VCR without
going through the AV receiver, connect the
TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to
the recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See
the manuals supplied with your TV and VCR for
details.
• Video signals connected to composite video
inputs can be recorded only via composite
video outputs. If your TV/VCR is connected to a
composite video input, the recording VCR must
be connected to a composite video output.
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes
cannot be recorded.
• Copy-protected Blu-ray discs and DVDs cannot
be recorded.
• Sources connected to a digital input cannot be
recorded. Only analog inputs can be recorded.
•DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t
attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.
