Recording the Picture and Sound From
Different Sources at the Same Time
The picture from the VIDEO 2 source continues to be output
through the VIDEO OUT jacks even if you change to another
audio source (TAPE/MD, FM, or AM) or TV.
Therefore if you select VIDEO 2 first, then select TAPE/MD,
FM, AM, or TV, you can record the picture from the VIDEO 2
source and the sound from the TAPE/MD, FM, AM, or TV at
the same time, using the recording equipment connected to
the VIDEO 1 jacks.
Digital recording from the source
connected to the digital input connectors
to the digital recording equipment
connected to the digital output connector
The digital input connectors are as follows:
• The DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL VIDEO 1 connector, and
• The DIGITAL INPUT COAXIAL VIDEO 2 connector.
The digital output connector is the DIGITAL OUTPUT
OPTICAL connector.
Recording digital sound signals from sources connected to the
digital input connectors using digital recording equipment
connected to the digital output is possible unless:
• The recording is against SCMS (Serial Copy Management
System) rules (for details of SCMS rules, refer to the
manual of the digital recording equipment),
• The digital signals are in bitstream format (the recordable
digital signal format is PCM –– two channel digital stereo
sound signals), or
• The sampling frequency is out of the recordable range of
the recording equipment (for recordable sampling
frequency, refer to the manual of the digital recording
equipment). Note that the maximum signal frequency output
from the DVD Receiver is 48 kHz.
Analog recording from a DVD Video
played using the DVD Receiver
The digital sound signals are converted to analog signals and
output to the analog output jacks unless the DVD video is
recorded in the DTS Surround and MPEG2 systems.
MPEG2 sounds can be recorded by changing the sound
signal conversion method to "96k Sound" or "PCM." For
details, see page 41.
Although the speakers can reproduce DTS Surround sounds,
DTS signals are not output to the analog output jacks. See e
in the tables on page 41.
Note
If the sound signal conversion method is set to "96k Sound,"
reproduced PCM signals may not be output from the digital output
connector (DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL) depending on the frequency
and quantization. See also the second note in "Digital recording from
a DVD video played by the DVD Receiver" below.
Digital recording from a DVD video
played by the DVD Receiver
The digital sound signals are output to the DIGITAL OUTPUT
OPTICAL connector in the most suitable format when the
sound signal conversion method is set to "Bitstream" (see
page 40). However, if the conversion method is set to
"Bitstream" or "96k Sound" when DOLBY DIGITAL Surround
sound is reproduced, the signals will be output in the
bitstream format from the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL
connector as in b in the table on page 41. The bitstream
signals are unrecordable.
Therefore, to record the sounds recorded in the DOLBY
DIGITAL Surround sound format, you need to change the
conversion method to "PCM." Once the conversion method is
changed to "PCM," the DOLBY DIGITAL sound signals are
converted into the 2 channel 48 kHz/16 bit PCM format as in
c in the same table mentioned above.
Digital recording of MPEG2 sounds is impossible regardless
of the sound signal conversion methods. (Analog recording is
possible. See on the left.)
DTS Surround sound is unrecordable from both the digital
output connector and analog output jacks regardless of the
sound signal conversion methods.
Notes
• If the conversion method is set to "PCM," the DTS Surround sounds
of a DVD video will not be reproduced from the speakers nor output
to the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL connector. See f in the tables
on page 41.
• If the sound signal conversion method is set to "96k Sound," the
DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL connector will output no signals
depending on the frequency and quantization as in d in the tables on
page 41.
To digitally record high frequency PCM sound signals, the
conversion method must be set to "Bitstream" or "PCM," so that the
frequency/quantization are converted to the 48 kHz/16 bit format
which is recordable.
Analog and Digital recording from an
DVD
audio CD played using the DVD Receiver
PCM sound signals are output to the DIGITAL OUTPUT
OPTICAL connector, and converted to analog signals and
output to the analog output jacks regardless of the conversion
method.
DTS Surround sound is unrecordable. Because DTS Surround
sound signals of an audio CD are output to the DIGITAL
OUTPUT OPTICAL connector in the bitstream format and no
signal will be output to the analog output jacks regardless of
the conversion method. For details, see the table on page 41.
