Recording

This section explains how to record the selected input
source to a component with recording capability, and
how to record audio and video from different sources.
Recording the Input Source
You can only record to a component that's connected to
the TAPE OUT or VCR/DVR OUT jacks.
See pages 20–31 for information on connecting your AV
components.
1 Use the input selector buttons to
select the component that you
want to record.
Audio signals from the selected input
DVD VCR/DVR CBL/SAT
source are output by the TAPE OUT
AUX TAPE TUNER and VCR/DVR OUT jacks.
You can listen to the source while

Notes:
• You cannot record from a component that's connected
to a digital input. Only analog inputs can be recorded.
• The surround sound effects provided by the listening
modes cannot be recorded.
• You cannot record from a component that's connected
to the multichannel DVD input.
• If you select another input source while recording, that
input source will be recorded instead.
• While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the
VCR/DVR OUT V and S jacks don't output video sig-
nals, so select another mode when recording.
Recording Audio and Video from
Separate Sources
You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by
simultaneously recording audio and video from two sep-
arate sources. This is possible because only the audio
source is switched when an audio-only input source,
such as TAPE, TUNER, or CD, is selected, the video
source remains the same.
In the following example, audio from the CD player con-
nected to the CD IN jacks, and video from the camcorder
connected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded
by the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.
