Making an audio or a video recording

ON
You can make an audio or a video recording from the
OFF
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
–10 to +10
analog source or vice-versa, so make sure the
Default: 0
components you are recording to/from are hooked up in
–10 to +10
the same way (see Connecting your equipment on
Default: 0
page 13 for more on connections).
–10 to +10
Since the video converter is not available when making
Default: 0
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
Default: 0
want to record) to this receiver. For example, you must
AUTO
connect your recorder using component if your source
PURE
has also been connected using component.
