Chapter 8:
Making recordings
Making an audio or a video recording
You can make an audio or a video recording from the
built-in tuner, or from an audio or video source
connected to the receiver (such as a CD player or TV).
Keep in mind you can’t make a digital recording from an
analog source or vice-versa, so make sure the
components you are recording to/from are hooked up in
the same way (see
Connecting up
on page 14 for more on
connections).
If you want to record a video source, you also need to use
the same type of connection for the source as for the
recorder. For example, you can’t record a component
hooked up to S-video jacks with a recorder hooked up to
the composite video outputs (see page 18 for more on
video connections).
The illustration above shows the VSX-2014i model.
1 Select the source you want to record.
Use the
MULTI CONTROL
buttons (or
INPUT SELECT
).
2 Select the input signal (if necessary).
Press
SIGNAL SELECT
to select the input signal
corresponding to the source component (see page 33 for
more on this).
3 Prepare the source you want to record.
Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD etc.
4 Prepare the recorder.
Insert a blank tape, MD, video etc. into the recording
device and set the recording levels.
Refer to the instructions that came with the recorder if
you are unsure how to do this. Most video recorders set
the audio recording level automatically—check the
component’s instruction manual if you’re unsure.
5 Start recording, then start playback of the source
component.
Note
• The receiver's volume, balance, tone (bass, treble,
loudness), and surround effects have no effect on the
recorded signal.
• Some digital sources are copy-protected, and can
only be recorded in analog.
• Some video sources are copy-protected. These
cannot be recorded.
