Recording
This section explains how to record the selected input
source to a component with recording capability, and
how to record audio and video from different sources.
You can only record to a component that’s connected to
the TAPE OUT or VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.
See pages 22–33 for information on connecting your AV
components.
Notes:
•You cannot record from a component that’s connected
to a digital input. Only analog inputs can be recorded.
The surround sound effects provided by the listening
modes cannot be recorded.
•You cannot record from a component that’s connected
to the multichannel DVD input.
If you select another input source while recording, that
input source will be recorded instead.
While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the
VIDEO 1 OUT V and S jacks don’t output video sig-
nals, so select another mode when recording.
You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by
simultaneously recording audio and video from two sep-
arate sources. This is possible because only the audio
source is switched when an audio-only input source,
such as TAPE, TUNER, or CD, is selected, the video
source remains the same.
In the following example, audio from the CD player con-
nected to the CD IN jacks, and video from the camcorder
connected to the VIDEO 3 INPUT VIDEO jack are
recorded by the VCR connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT
jacks.
1.
Prepare the camcorder and CD player
for playback.
2.
Prepare the VCR for recording.
3.
Press the [VIDEO 3] input selector but-
ton.
4.
Press the [CD] input selector button.
This selects the CD player as the audio source, but
leaves the camcorder as the video source.
5.
Start recording on the VCR, then start
playback on the camcorder and CD
player.
Video from the camcorder and audio from the CD
player are recorded by the VCR.
Recording the Input Source

UME control has no effect on record-
ing.
