Chapter 9:
Making recordings
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).
Keep in mind you can't make a digital
recording from an analog source or vice-
versa, so make sure the components you are
recording to/from are hooked up in the same
way (see Connecting up on page 16 for more
on connections).
If you want to record a video source, you also
need to use the same type of connection for
the source as for the recorder. For example,
you can't record a component hooked up to S-
video jacks with a recorder hooked up to the
component video outputs (see page 19 for
more on video connections).

2 Select the input signal (if necessary).
Press SIGNAL SELECT on the front panel to
select the input signal corresponding to the
source component (see page 37 for more on
this).
3 Prepare the source you want to record.
Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video,
DVD etc.
4 Prepare the recorder.
Insert a blank tape, MD, video etc. into the
recording device and set the recording levels.
Refer to the instructions that came with the
recorder if you are unsure how to do this.
Most video recorders set the audio recording
level automatically—check the component's
instruction manual if you're unsure.
5 Start recording, then start playback of
the source component.
• The receiver's volume, balance, tone
(bass, treble, loudness), and surround
effects have no effect on the recorded
signal.
