Recording

This section explains how to record the selected input
source to a component with recording capability, and
how to record audio and video from different sources.
Recording the Input Source
You can only record to a component that's connected to
the TAPE OUT or VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.
See pages 22–33 for information on connecting your AV
components.
1 Use the input selector buttons to
select the component that you
want to record.

Notes:
• You cannot record from a component that's connected
to a digital input. Only analog inputs can be recorded.
• The surround sound effects provided by the listening
modes cannot be recorded.
• You cannot record from a component that's connected
to the multichannel DVD input.
• If you select another input source while recording, that
input source will be recorded instead.
• While the Pure Audio listening mode (not North
American model) is selected, the VIDEO 1 OUT V
and S jacks don't output video signals, so select
another mode when recording.

Recording Audio and Video from
Separate Sources
You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by
simultaneously recording audio and video from two sep-
arate sources. This is possible because only the audio
source is switched when an audio-only input source,
such as TAPE, TUNER, or CD, is selected, the video
source remains the same.
In the following example, audio from the CD player con-
nected to the CD IN jacks, and video from the camcorder
connected to the VIDEO 3 INPUT VIDEO jack are
recorded by the VCR connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT
jacks.
