the output resolution may be different from the setting you've made here.

1080i resolution settings.
Note
1 • The receiver's volume, AV parameters (the tone controls, for example), and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal.

Option(s)

Making an audio or a video recording

–10 to +10
You can make an audio or a video recording from the
default: 0
built-in tuner, or from an audio or video source
–10 to +10
connected to the receiver (such as a CD player or TV).
Default: 0
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
PURE
the same way (see Connecting your equipment on
page 10 for more on connections).
576p
Since the video converter is not available when making
720p
recordings (from the video OUT jacks) make sure to use
1080i
the same type of video cable for connecting your recorder
as you used to connect your video source (the one you
THROUGH
want to record) to this receiver. For example, you must
(none)
connect your recorder using S-video if your source has
4:3 (left/right)
also been connected using S-video.
