Making an audio or a video recording

You can make an audio or a video recording from the
built-in tuner, or from an audio or video source
connected to the receiver (such as a CD player or TV).
Keep in mind you can't make a digital recording from an
analog source or vice-versa, so make sure the
components you are recording to/from are hooked up in
the same way (see Connecting your equipment on
page 11 for more on connections).
Since the video converter is not available when making
recordings (from the video OUT jacks) make sure to use
the same type of video cable for connecting your recorder
as you used to connect your video source (the one you
want to record) to this receiver. For example, you must
connect your recorder using S-video if your source has
also been connected using S-video.
For more information about video connections, see
Connecting a DVD/HDD recorder, VCR and other video
sources on page 14.
1 Select the source you want to record.
Use the input source buttons (or INPUT SELECT).
• If necessary, press SIGNAL SEL (SIGNAL SELECT) to
select the input signal corresponding to the source
component (see Choosing the input signal on
page 29 for more on this).
2 Prepare the source you want to record.
Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD etc.
3 Prepare the recorder.
Insert a blank tape, MD, video etc. into the recording
device and set the recording levels.
Note
1 • The receiver's volume, DSP (the tone controls, for example), and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal.
• Some digital sources are copy-protected, and can only be recorded in analog.
• Some video sources are copy-protected. These cannot be recorded.
2 The attenuator isn't available with digital sources.
3 • Note that this feature will not work with video sources assigned to either of the HDMI video inputs.
• The video select feature is canceled if you change the source input or switch off the receiver.

Reducing the level of an analog signal

The input attenuator lowers the input level of an analog
signal when it's too strong. You can use this if you find
the that the OVER indicator is lights often, or you can
hear distortion in the sound.
• Press RECEIVER then press ANALOG ATT to switch
the input attenuator on or off.
Watching video and audio sources
independently
You can listen to a sound source and select a different
video source on your TV.

(front panel) to select the video source you want to
watch.
Press repeatedly to cycle through the possible video
sources. You can select DVD, TV, DVR1, DVR2, VIDEO
or OFF (no video signal).
