I Digital Recording
If your recorder has a digital input, by connecting it to
the AV receiver's optical DIGITAL OUT jack, you can
record digitally. However, because the AV receiver
doesn't convert analog input signals to digital and vice
versa, only input signals connected to a DIGITAL IN
jack can be recorded in this way.
