Recording from Digital Audio Components
The following explanations show you how to record digital audio. Using this method you can make exact digital
copies of sources like CDs or MDs. The only drawback is that you cannot switch between various recorders at
the touch of a button like you can with analog recordings (see the previous page). If you look on the back of the
VSX-D938TX/D908TX/D908TX-G, you will find a digital out jack which is marked PCM/
2 /DTS/MPEG (VSX-
D938TX only) OUT (it is to the right of the digital in jacks in the upper left-hand corner). If you connect this to the
optical input on a digital recorder (currently these include MD, DAT, CD-R, and DVD video recorder), you can
make direct digital recordings with this unit. Of course, the digital components you want to record all need to be
connected to the VSX-D938TX/D908TX/D908TX-G with digital inputs as well. See p.10 if you have not made
these connections.
The receiver’s volume, channel level, tone (BASS, TREBLE, and LOUDNESS), and surround effects
have no effect on the recorded signal.
1
Prepare the source you want to record and set the
SIGNAL SELECT to digital.
Press the SIGNAL SELECT button on the remote control (or use the
button on the front panel) and choose DIGITAL.
2
Start recording with a CD-R or MD (etc.).
3
Playback the source to be recorded.
In some cases, digital recordings have copy guard protections
on them and making a digital copy is not possible. It is still
possible to copy these digital sources if you have hooked them
up with analog connections (in this case, the copies will not be
exact digital reproductions). Refer to the previous page in this
case.
