MULTI-ZONE remote controls
Set the MULTI-ZONE operation switch to ZONE 2 or ZONE
3 to operate the corresponding zone.
The following table shows the possible MULTI-ZONE
remote controls:
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).
1
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.
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
instruction 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.

• Press , then press A.ATT to switch the
input attenuator on or off.
Using the sleep timer
The sleep timer switches the receiver into standby after a
specified amount of time so you can fall asleep without
worrying about the receiver being left on all night. Use
the remote control to set the sleep timer.
• Press , then press SLEEP repeatedly to set
the sleep time.
• You can check the remaining sleep time at any time
by pressing SLEEP once. Pressing repeatedly will
cycle through the sleep options again.

Dimming the display
You can choose between four brightness levels for the
front panel display. Note that when selecting sources, the
display automatically brightens for a few seconds.
• Press , then press DIMMER repeatedly to
change the brightness of the front panel display.

Note
1 • 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.
2 The attenuator isn’t available with digital sources, or when using the Stream Direct (ANALOG DIRECT) modes.
