Recording
To record audio/video:
1. Select the recording input source device such as a TV or tuner (see
page 27).
2. Use Remote Control unit to select the channel and perform other
required operations in the same way as with the remote of the se-
lected AV device.
3. Press and hold the remote’s CONFIRM/SHIFT key for about 2 sec-
onds so that the SHIFT display appears, then select the recording de-
vice such as the VCR. For 8 seconds after the CONFIRM/SHIFT key is
pressed, the input selection signal is not transmitted from the remote
to the receiver even when an input is selected. Therefore, this period
can be used to remote control the recording device without changing
the input selection.
4. Press the remote’s REC key to start recording.
For detailed operating procedures of your AV device, refer to its instruc-
tion manual.
To record a source connected through [SL 16] system control cord:
When recording audio from a CD player connected through a system
control cord, the sync recording is available. (For the sync or synchro
recording, refer to the instruction manual of your cassette deck or MD
recorder.)
1. Select the CD input on Remote Control unit.
2. Put the cassette deck or MD recorder in Rec pause mode. When the
CD starts to be played, recording is automatically started in synchro-
nism.

If you’re recording from a digital source, any action other than adjust-
ing the volume may cause the sound to “clip” on the recording.
You cannot record from the component you are using to record. For
example, if you’re recording on a VCR connected to the VIDEO1 jacks,
select a source other than Video 1.
If your source is a camcorder or other video unit, refer to the instruc-
tion manual for the particular unit you’re recording from.
It is not possible to record a digital source signal onto the device con-
nected to the CD2/TAPE2 MONITOR output.
Digital to Digital Recording:
The PCM digital signal input through any DIGITAL IN jack is output digi-
tally at the digital jack. For more information on this connection, see
“Connecting Your MD Recorder or Primary Tape Deck” on page␣ 20 of
the Connections and Setup Guide.
Dolby Digital and DTS signals cannot be recorded.
Digital to Analog Recording:
While home VCRs can record only two channels of audio, the receiver is
capable of "down-mixing" the multi-channel audio of Dolby Digital, DTS
or MPEG into stereo sound. Down-mixing is available by setting the Digital
Rec mode to “REC MODE: AUTO or “REC MODE: MANUAL”.
To set the Digital Rec mode:
1. Press the F. SHIFT = REC (REC MODE)* key on Remote Control unit.
2. Select “REC MODE: AUTO or “REC MODE :MANUAL”.
When a source recorded by down-mixing a multi-channel source is played
back in the Dolby Pro Logic mode, the audio can be reproduced in 4-
channel surround sound.
