7.6 Recording from the digital output
Notes:
When recording a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, each track must be recorded individually.
Digital recording is not possible from an analogue multichannel source.
Before you start recording from the digital output, make sure the output is set to match your
recording device. See ‘10.1 Configuration menu’ for the appropriate ‘Digital out’ setting.
Digital recording is not possible when the digital source material is copy-protected.
If a digital recorder is connected to the DIGITAL OUT socket (28) of the receiver, all signals
coming from the digital inputs can be recorded directly on the connected audio recorder
(except signals coming from M-CH IN (24).The receiver will also convert all signals coming
from the analogue inputs to the digital output.The receiver can be used to record digitally a
multichannel surround sound audio signal (Dolby Digital, or DTS) from, for example, DVD to
CD-R.The receiver will convert the digital multichannel signal into a stereo signal without loss of
relevant sound information.
