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).
Only video signals that were input to this receiver through a
composite video cable or analog audio inputs can be recorded.
Signals that were input through an HDMI cable, component video
cable or digital audio cable (optical / coaxial) cannot be recorded
(see Connecting other audio components on page 17 for more on
connections).
