Recording on a video tape
You can record from a VCR, a TV or a DVD
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 DVD player if you
need help.
1
Select the program source to be
recorded.
2
Prepare the component for playing.
For example, insert a video tape you want to
record into VCR.
3
Insert a blank video tape into the VCR
(VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2) for recording.
4
Start recording on the recording VCR,
then start playing the video tape or
DVD 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 DVD.
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.
Notes
• You cannot record a digital audio signal using a
component connected to the analog VIDEO 1
AUDIO OUT or VIDEO 2 AUDIO OUT jacks.
• Be sure to make both digital and analog connections
to the TV/SAT and DVD inputs. Analog recording is
not possible if you make only digital connections.
• The analog audio signals of the current input are
output from the VIDEO 1 AUDIO OUT or VIDEO 2
AUDIO OUT jacks.
• The signals input to the MULTI CH IN jacks are not
output from VIDEO 1 AUDIO OUT or VIDEO 2
AUDIO OUT jacks even when MULTI CH IN is
being used. The analog audio signals of the current or
previously used input are output.
• Some sources contain copy guards to prevent
recording. In this case, you may not be able to record
from the sources.
There are 2 ways to listen to the sound in another
zone. You can
– hook up the 2ND ZONE jacks to a stereo
amplifier in another zone.

want to output to a stereo amplifier in another
