Using Other Functions

Recording from Audio Components

The following explanations show you how to record an analog or digital audio signal. Note that your analog
components cannot record a player that is only connected digitally (and vice-versa). If you want to record from a
digital component to an analog one (for example, a tape deck), or vice-versa, the digital component it must be
connected via analog jacks and you need to set the SIGNAL SELECT switch to ANALOG. To make exact digital
copies (of digital sources like CDs) both the source component and the recorder must be connected with digital
connections. See p.12 for more on analog audio connections and p.13 for digital audio connections.
The receiver's volume, channel level, balance, TONE, DNR, MIDNIGHT, LOUDNESS and surround ef-
memo
fects have no effect on the recorded signal and the MULTI CH IN cannot be recorded.
In some cases, digital recordings have copy guard protections and making a digital copy is not possible.
In this case you can only copy them in an analog manner.
