MAKING A RECORDING
MAKING AN AUDIO OR A VIDEO RECORDING
The following steps show you how to 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). Recordings can be made
to a CD-Recorder, cassette deck, MD, VCR, or DVR deck connected to the CD-R/TAPE/MD, VCR or DVR
in/out connectors.
The receiver's volume, balance tone (bass, treble, S.bass), and surround effects (Dolby Pro Logic
and DSP settings) have no effect on the recorded signal.

1 Press the FUNCTION button to select a source to record.
All functions except MONITOR are accessible from the remote
control.
On the receiver, select the source directly using the front panel
buttons.

Tune to the radio station, load the CD or other media.
3 Insert a blank tape or other media into the recording device
connected to either CD-R/TAPE/MD or VCR/DVR 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 your video's instruction
manual if you are unsure whether yours has manual controls.
4 Start recording, then start playback of the source component.
Record MONITOR
You can listen to (monitor) the recording using the MONITOR
button on the Front Panel (a cassette deck would have to have a
record monitor function).
Press the MONITOR button to switch between the recorded signal
and the original source signal.
