Recording
Your receiver makes it easy to record to and from the
components connected to it. You don’t have to connect
the playback and recording components directly to each
other: once you select a program source on the receiver,
you can record and edit as you normally would using the
controls on each component.
Before you begin, make sure you’ve connected all
components properly.

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 your VCR
or LD player’s instruction manual if you need help.
1 Turn INPUT SELECTOR to 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.

VIDEO 2) for recording.
4
Start recording on the recording VCR, then start
playing the video tape or laser disc you want to
record.
z
You can record the sound from any audio source onto a
video tape while copying from a video tape or laser disc
After locating 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.
For example, if you want to record video from the component
connected to the VIDEO 1 jacks and audio from the component
connected to the CD jacks:
1 Turn INPUT SELECTOR to select VIDEO 1.
2 Press AUDIO SPLIT to display “V:VIDEO1 A:(audio
component)”
3 Press AUDIO SPLIT repeatedly to select the CD player as the
audio component (“V:VIDEO1 A:CD”).
See “3 AUDIO SPLIT button” on page 25 for details on use of
the AUDIO SPLIT button.
To resume audio recording from the original medium, hold down
AUDIO SPLIT for more than 2 seconds to cancel. (Please note
that the selected audio component will switch once before
cancelation.)
Notes
• You cannot record a digital audio signal using a component
connected to the analog TAPE REC OUT, MD/DAT REC OUT,
VIDEO 1 REC OUT or VIDEO 2 REC OUT jacks. To record a
digital audio signal, connect a digital component to the MD/
DAT OPT OUT jack.
• You cannot, however, record multi channel surround digital
signals from a DVD, etc.
