SETUP
(TUNE –)
1 During recording, press the REC SELECT CONTROL
button on the front panel until RECOUT shows in the
1
display.
2 While RECOUT shows in the display, use the
INPUT SELECTOR dial to select the source you want
to record.
The default, RECOUT SOURCE, records the source you're
currently listening to (as in Making an audio or a video
recording above).
• Note that the setting you make here is stored in
memory, even if you switch off the receiver, so if you
want to record a different input source later, you
must do so with REC SELECT, or by selecting
RECOUT SOURCE.
3 After RECOUT disappears from the display, select
the input source you want to listen to.
This will be heard from the main system without affecting
2
your recording.
Tip
• If you have a digital recorder connected to the
DIGITAL OUT1 (ROOM3) digital output and ROOM
3 is switched on (see Using the multi-room controls
on page 58), you can also select a different input
source for this output while ROOM 3 shows in the
display.
Note
1 If RECOUT does not appear in the display, you may have to switch ROOM 2 off by pressing MULTI ROOM & SOURCE ON/OFF and selecting either
ROOM 3 or off (the MULTI-ROOM indicator disappears). See Using the multi-room controls on page 58 for more on this.
2 • Note that switching the ROOM 2 input source (as explained in Multi-room listening on page 57) also changes the RECOUT input source.
• If RECOUT SOURCE is selected, changing the input source likewise changes the input source used for your recording.
3 The attenuator isn't available with digital sources, or when using the Stream Direct modes.
4 Note that this feature will not work with video sources assigned to either of the HDMI video inputs.
