Recording on a video tape
You can record from a VCR, a TV, or an LD
player using the receiver. You can also add
audio from a variety of audio sources when
editing a video tape. See the operating
instructions of your VCR or LD player if you
need help.
1
Select the program source to be
recorded.
2
Prepare the component for playing.
For example, insert the laser disc you want
to record into the LD player.
3
Insert a blank video tape into the VCR
(VIDEO 1) for recording.
4
Start recording on the recording VCR,
then start playing the video tape or
laser disc you want to record.
Tip
You can record the sound from any audio source onto
a video tape while copying from a video tape or laser
disc. Locate the point where you want to start
recording from another audio source, select the
program source, then start playback. The audio from
that source will be recorded onto the audio track of
the video tape instead of the audio from the original
medium. To resume audio recording from the original
medium, select the video source again.

automatically at a specified time.

0 – 30 – 00 t OFF
The display dims after you have specified the
time.
Tip
To check the remaining time before the receiver turns
off, press SLEEP. The remaining time appears in the
display.
