Recording from Digital Audio Components
The following explanations show you how to record digital audio. Using this method you can make exact digital copies
of sources like CDs or MDs. The only drawback is that you can’t switch between various recorders at the touch of a
button like you can with analog recordings (see the previous page). If you look on the back of the VSX-27TX/26TX/24TX
you’ll find a digital out jack which is marked PCM/
/DTS OUT (it’s to the right of the digital in jacks in the upper left-
hand corner). If you connect this to the optical input on a digital recorder (currently these include MD, DAT and CD-R)
you can make direct digital recordings with this unit. Of course, the digital components you want to record all need to
be connected to the VSX-27TX/26TX/24TX with digital inputs as well. See p.10 if you haven’t made these connections.
The receiver's volume, channel level, tone (BASS, TREBLE, and LOUDNESS), and surround effects have no
effect on the recorded signal.
1
Prepare the source you want to record and put
the receiver in that function. Set the SIGNAL
SELECT to digital.
Press the SIGNAL SELECT button on the remote control (or
use the button on the front panel) and choose DIGITAL.
2
Start recording with a CD-R or MD (etc.).
3
Playback the source to be recorded.
Using Other Functions
In some cases digital recordings have copy guard
protections on them and making a digital copy is not
possible. It is still possible to copy these digital sources if
you have hooked the components up with analog
connections (in this case the copies will not be exact
digital reproductions). Refer to the previous page in this
case.
