Recording

This chapter explains how to record the selected input source
to an AV component with recording capability, and how to
record audio and video from two different sources.
Recording the Input Source
You can record only to AV components that are connected to
the TAPE OUT or VIDEO 1 OUT connectors.
See pages 10–19 for information on connecting your AV
components to the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E.

to the digital inputs. You must use analog connections.
• The surround effects produced by the surround and DSP
listening modes cannot be recorded.
• You cannot record from an AV component that is con-
nected to the multi-channel inputs.
• If you select another input source while recording, that
input source will be recorded instead.

Recording from Different AV Sources
With this function you can record audio and video from dif-
ferent sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your
video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact
that when an audio-only input source (i.e., TAPE, TUNER,
or CD) is selected, the video input source remains
unchanged. For example, if you first select the VIDEO 3
input source, followed by the CD input source, you can
watch the video from the VIDEO 3 input and listen to the
audio from the CD input.
In the following example, audio from the CD player con-
nected to the CD IN connectors, and video from the video
camera connected to the VIDEO 3 INPUT VIDEO connector
are recorded onto the VCR, which is connected to the
VIDEO 1 OUT connectors.

1. Prepare the camera and CD player for playback.
2. Prepare the VCR for recording.
3. Press the [VIDEO 3] input selector button.
4. Press the [CD] input selector button.
This selects the CD player as the audio source, but leaves
the video camera as the video source.
5. Start recording on the VCR and start playback
on the video camera and CD player.
The video from the camera, and the audio from the CD
player are recorded by the VCR.
Notes:
• You cannot record audio from an AV component that is
connected digitally. You must use an analog connection.
• The surround effects produced by the surround and DSP
listening modes cannot be recorded.
• If you select another input source while recording, that
input source will be recorded instead.
