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 record- ing 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 your equipment on page 10 for more on connections). ! The receiver’s volume, Audio parameters (the
tone controls, for example), 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.
Since the video converter is not available when making recordings (from the video OUT jacks) make sure to use the same type of video cable for connecting your recorder as you used to connect your video source (the one you want to record) to this receiver. For example, you must connect your recorder using Component video if your source has also been connected using Component video.
1 Select the source you want to record.
Use the input function buttons (or INPUT SELECT).
2 Prepare the source you want to record.
Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD etc.
3 Select the input signal according to the signal to be recorded.
Use the remote control’s SIGNAL SEL button.
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 instruc- tion manual if you’re unsure.
5 Start recording, then start playback of the source component.
Reducing the level of an
analog signal
The input attenuator lowers the input level of an analog signal when it’s too strong. You can use this if you find that the OVER indicator lights often or you can hear distortion in the sound. The attenuator isn’t available with digital sources, or when using the Stream Direct (ANALOG DIRECT) modes.
