BASIC RECORDING
REC OUT/ZONE 2 allows you to record one source
while watching and/or listening to another source.
Recording adjustments and other operations are
performed from the recording components. Refer to the
operation instructions for these components.
1 Turn on the power to this unit and all
connected components.
2 Select the source component you want to
record from by using REC OUT/ZONE 2.
• To record the current input source that you are
watching or listening to, set REC OUT/ZONE 2 to
SOURCE/REMOTE.
• To record the other source than the one that you
are watching or listening to, set REC OUT/ZONE
2 to the source you want to record.
Note
• At this setting, you can change the source to listen to or watch
during recording by pressing INPUT l/h (one of the input
selector buttons on the remote control).
3 Start playback (or select a broadcast station)
on the source component.
4 Start recording on the recording component.
y
• Setting REC OUT/ZONE 2 to SOURCE/REMOTE and using
the BGV function (see page 26) allows the recording of audio
and video from a different source.
Notes
• Do a test recording before you start an actual recording.
• When this unit is set in the standby mode, you cannot record
between other components connected to this unit.
• The setting of BASS, TREBLE, BASS EXTENSION,
VOLUME, “3 L/R BALANCE” on the SET MENU and DSP
programs does not affect the recorded material.
• A source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this unit
cannot be recorded.
• S-video and composite video signals pass independently
through this unit’s video circuits. Therefore, when recording or
dubbing video signals, if your video source component is
connected to provide only an S-video (or only a composite
video) signal, you can record only an S-video (or only a
composite video) signal by your VCR.
• A given input source is not output on the same REC OUT
channel. (For example, the signal input from VCR 1 IN is not
output on VCR 1 OUT.)
• Check the copyright laws in your country to record from
records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material
may infringe copyright laws.
If you playback a video source that uses scrambled or
encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, the
picture itself may be disturbed due to those signals.
■ Special considerations when
recording DTS software
The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to
digitally record the DTS bitstream will result in noise
being recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit to
record sources that have DTS signals recorded on them,
the following considerations and adjustments need to be
made.
For LDs, DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS, when your
player is compatible with the DTS format, follow its
operation instruction to make a setting so that the analog
signal will be output from the player.
■ Timer playback/recording
This unit can perform playback or recording with an
external timer (not supplied). Refer to the operation
instruction for the component and the timer to be used.
Notes
• The stored data such as input source will be reflected in the
playback or recording with the timer.
• If you do not want any sound output during the recording with
a timer, turn the volume down.
Memory back-up
The memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data
(input source, volume level, set menu settings and so
on) from being lost even if this unit is in the standby
mode (disconnected from the AC outlet). However if
the timer is turned off for more than one week, the
stored data will be lost.
