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).

3

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 Component video if your
source has also been connected using Component video.

For more information about video connections, see
Connecting an HDD/DVD recorder, VCR and other video
sources
on page 28.

1

Select the source you want to record.

Use the input function buttons (or INPUT SELECT).

• If necessary, press ,

then

press SIGNAL

SEL to select the input signal corresponding to the
source component (see Choosing the input signal on
page 61 for more on this).

2

Prepare the source you want to record.

Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD etc.

3

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.

4

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.

Press

, then press A.ATT to switch the

input attenuator on or off.

Note

1 The volume levels of the main and sub zone(s) are independent.
2 • You won’t be able to switch the main zone off completely unless you’ve switched off the MULTI-ZONE control first.

• If you don’t plan to use the MULTI-ZONE feature for a while, turn off the power in both the sub and main rooms so that this receiver is in
standby.

• Some digital sources are copy-protected, and can only be recorded in analog.
• Some video sources are copy-protected. These cannot be recorded.

4 The attenuator isn’t available with digital sources, or when using the Stream Direct (ANALOG DIRECT) modes.
