Chapter 8:
Making recordings
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 up on page 14 for more
on connections).
If you want to record a video source, you also
need to use the same type of connection for
the source as for the recorder. For example,
you can't record a component hooked up to S-
video jacks with a recorder hooked up to the
component video outputs (see page 18 for
more on video connections).

1 Select the source you want to record.
Use the MULTI CONTROL buttons (or INPUT
SELECT).
2 Select the input signal (if necessary).
Press SIGNAL SELECT (front panel) to select
the input signal corresponding to the source
component (see page 38 for more on this).

Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video,
DVD etc.

Insert a blank tape, MD, video etc. into the

Refer to the instructions that came with the
recorder if you are unsure how to do this.
Most video recorders set the audio recording

instruction manual if you're unsure.

the source component.
• The receiver's volume, balance, tone
(bass, treble, loudness), and surround
BA
effects have no effect on the recorded
