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).
Only video signals that were input to this receiver through a
composite video cable or analog audio inputs can be
recorded. Signals that were input through an HDMI cable,
component video cable or digital audio cable (optical /
coaxial) cannot be recorded (see Connecting other audio
components on page 20 for more on connections).
1 Press input function buttons to select the input function
you want to record.
The input of the receiver will switch over, and you will be able
to operate other components using the remote control.
• The input source can also be selected by using INPUT
SELECT buttons on the remote control, or by
using the front panel INPUT SELECTOR dial.
2 Select the audio input signal (if necessary).
Press SIGNAL SEL and select the analog inputs (A) for the
source component of which you want to record (see page 26
for more on this).
3 Prepare the source you want to record.
Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD etc.
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.
Note
• The receiver’s volume, balance, tone (bass, treble,
loudness), and surround effects have no effect on the
recorded signal.
• Some video sources are copy-protected. These cannot be
recorded.
