Recording from Audio Components
The following explanations show you how to record an analog or digital audio signal. Note that your analog
components cannot record a player that is only connected digitally (and vice-versa). If you want to record from a digital
component to an analog one (for example, a tape deck), or vice-versa, the digital component it MUST be connected via
analog jacks and you need to set the SIGNAL SELECT switch to ANALOG. To make exact digital copies (of digital
sources like CDs) both the source component and the recorder must be connected with digital connections. See p.8 for
more on analog audio connections and p.10, 11 for digital audio connections.
1 Select the source component. Set SIGNAL SELECT
according to the source component's signal
(ANALOG or DIGITAL).
Press the SIGNAL SELECT button on the remote control (or use
the button on the front panel) and choose ANALOG
2 Start recording with a recorder.
3 Playback the source to be recorded.
Record monitor (TAPE 2 MONITOR)
If you connect a cassette deck with a record monitor function to the
TAPE 2 MONITOR jacks, you can listen to the sound of an analog
recording as it is being recorded.
Press TAPE 2 MONITOR to switch between the sound of the recording
(TAPE 2 indicator on) and the sound of the source component (TAPE 2
indicator off).
Using Other Functions
The receiver's volume, channel level, balance, tone (BASS, TREBLE, and LOUDNESS), and surround effects
have no effect on the recorded signal and the EXTERNAL DECODER input cannot be recorded.
In some cases, digital recordings have copy guard protections and making a digital copy is not possible. In
this case you can only copy them in an analog manner.
Recording from Video Components
The following operations show you how to record audio and video to the video tape recorder connected to the VCR 1 or
VCR 2 jacks. Note that all signals coming out of these jacks will be analog and it is not possible to record Dolby Digital/
DTS soundtracks.
The receiver's volume, channel level, balance, tone (BASS, TREBLE, and LOUDNESS), and surround effects
have no effect on the recorded signal.
1 First, decide the component you'd like to record and
put the receiver in that function. Set the SIGNAL
SELECT to analog.
Press the SIGNAL SELECT button on the remote control (or use
the button on the front panel) and choose analog. Recording
DIGITAL or AC-3 RF signals is not possible.
2 Start recording with VCR 1 or VCR 2 (etc.).
3 Playback the source to be recorded.
