Recording
This section explains how to record the input source and
how to record audio and video from separate sources.
Notes:
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot
be recorded.
• Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.
• Sources connected to the analog multichannel input
cannot be recorded.
• Sources connected to a digital input cannot be
recorded. Only analog inputs can be recorded.
• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t
attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.
• While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the
VCR/DVR OUT V and S jacks don’t output video sig-
nals, so select another mode when recording.
Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cas-
sette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TAPE OUT jack.
Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g.,
VCR, DVR) connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.
See pages 18 to 32 for hookup information.
Note:
• If you select a different input source during recording,
that input source will be recorded instead.
You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by
simultaneously recording audio and video from two sep-
arate sources. This is possible because only the audio
source is switched when an audio-only input source,
such as TAPE, TUNER, or CD, is selected, the video
source remains the same.
In the following example, audio from the CD player con-
nected to the CD IN and video from the camcorder con-
nected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by
the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.
Recording the Input Source
1 Use the input selector buttons to
select the source that you want
to record.
See “Which Connections Should I
Use?” on page 19 to see which signals
can be output and recorded.
You can watch the source while record-
ing it. The AV receiver’s MASTER
VOLUME control has no effect on
recording.
2 On your recorder, start record-
ing.
3 On the source component, start
playback.

Recording from Different AV Sources
1 Prepare the camcorder and CD player for
playback.
2 Prepare the VCR for recording.
3 Press the [AUX] input selector button.
4 Press the [CD] input selector button.
This selects the CD player as the audio source but
leaves the camcorder as the video source.
5 Start recording on the VCR, then start
playback on the camcorder and CD player.
Video from the camcorder and audio from the CD
player are recorded by the VCR.
