Recording
This chapter explains how to record the selected input source
to an AV component with recording capability, and how to
record audio and video from two different sources.
You can record only to AV components that are connected to
the TAPE OUT or VIDEO 1 OUT connectors.
See pages 10–19 for information on connecting your AV
components to the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E.
Notes:
• You cannot record from AV components that are connected
to the digital inputs. You must use analog connections.
• The surround effects produced by the surround and DSP
listening modes cannot be recorded.
• You cannot record from an AV component that is con-
nected to the multi-channel inputs.
• If you select another input source while recording, that
input source will be recorded instead.
With this function you can record audio and video from dif-
ferent sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your
video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact
that when an audio-only input source (i.e., TAPE, TUNER,
or CD) is selected, the video input source remains
unchanged. For example, if you first select the VIDEO 3
input source, followed by the CD input source, you can
watch the video from the VIDEO 3 input and listen to the
audio from the CD input.
In the following example, audio from the CD player con-
nected to the CD IN connectors, and video from the video
camera connected to the VIDEO 3 INPUT VIDEO connector
are recorded onto the VCR, which is connected to the
VIDEO 1 OUT connectors.
1. Prepare the camera and CD player for playback.
2. Prepare the VCR for recording.
3. Press the [VIDEO 3] input selector button.
4. Press the [CD] input selector button.
This selects the CD player as the audio source, but leaves
the video camera as the video source.
5. Start recording on the VCR and start playback
on the video camera and CD player.
The video from the camera, and the audio from the CD
player are recorded by the VCR.
Notes:
• You cannot record audio from an AV component that is
connected digitally. You must use an analog connection.
• The surround effects produced by the surround and DSP
listening modes cannot be recorded.
• If you select another input source while recording, that
input source will be recorded instead.
Recording the Input Source
1 Use the following input selector
buttons to select the AV compo-
nent that you want to record.
Audio signals from the selected input
source are output by the VIDEO 1 OUT
and TAPE OUT connectors.
You can listen to the source while record-
ing. The TX-SR501/TX-SR501E’s VOL-
UME control has no effect on recording.
2 Start recording on the AV compo-
nent connected to the TAPE OUT or
VIDEO 1 OUT connectors.
3 Start playback on the source AV
component.
