Recording
This amplifier makes it easy to record to and from the
components connected to the amplifier. You don’t
have to connect playback and recording components
directly: once you select a program source on the
amplifier, you can record and edit as you normally
would using the controls on each component.
Before you begin, make sure you’ve connected all
components properly.
