Recording from a source

If you wish to record from a source you must select it with
SOURCE SELECT. The incoming signal is reproduced by all
audio and – if the source includes a video signal – video
outputs of the receiver. The sound settings do not affect the
recording.
1 Turn SOURCE SELECT to select the source you want to record
from.
The name of the source is displayed.
y
2 Prepare the desired recording appliance. It must be
connected to one of the outputs of the receiver.
3 Start recording on the recording appliance.
4 Start the playback of the source as usual.
Notes: – The audio and video signal of VCR IN is not
reproduced by VCR OUT. The same applies to the
audio signal of CDR/TAPE IN to CDR/TAPE OUT.
– We recommend not to use the digital output
COAX OUT of the receiver to record from an analog
source. Use the analog output CDR/TAPE instead.
– From a source which is connected to the
6 CHANNEL-DVD/SACD INPUT audio input cannot
be recorded.

Recording from the digital output

It is possible to connect a digital recorder to the digital output of
the receiver. In this way, all signals coming from the digital
inputs can be recorded directly on the connected audio recorder.
The receiver will also convert all signals coming from the analog
inputs to the digital output.
The receiver can be used to record digitally a multichannel
surround sound audio signal (Dolby Digital or DTS) from, for
example, DVD to CD-R. The receiver will convert the digital
multichannel signal into a stereo signal without loss of relevant
sound information.
Notes: – When recording a Dolby Digital or DTS signal, each
track must be recorded individually.
– Digital recording is not possible when the digital
source material is copy-protected.
