Setting the Video options
There are a number of additional picture settings you can
make using the
VIDEO PARAMETER menu. The defaults,
if not stated, are listed in bold.
Important
• Note that if an option cannot be selected on the
VIDEO PARAMETER menu, it is unavailable due to
the current source, setting and status of the receiver.
1 Set the operation selector switch to RCV, then press
VIDEO PARAMETER.
2 Use
/ to select the setting you want to adjust.
Depending on the current status/mode of the receiver,
certain options may not be able to be selected. Check the
table below for notes on this.

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).
2
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 your equipment on
page 15 for more on connections).
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 S-Video if your source has
also been connected using S-Video.
Note
1 • All of the setting items can be set for each input source.
• Setting items other than V. CONV can only be selected when V. CONV is set to ON.
