Recording from Digital Audio Components

The following explanations show you how to record digital audio. Using this method you can make exact digital
copies of sources like CDs or MDs. The only drawback is that you cannot switch between various recorders at
the touch of a button like you can with analog recordings (see the previous page). If you look on the back of the
receiver you will find 2 digital out jacks which are marked PCM/
jacks in the upper left-hand corner). If you connect one of these to the optical input on a digital recorder
(currently these include MD, DAT, and CD-R), you can make direct digital recordings with this unit. Of course,
the digital components you want to record, all need to be connected to the receiver with digital inputs as well.
See p.13 if you have not made these connections.
The receiver's volume, channel level, tone (BASS, TREBLE, and LOUDNESS), and surround
memo
effects have no effect on the recorded signal.

VCR 1, VCR 2 or DVR jacks. Note that all signals coming out of these jacks will be analog and it is not possible to
record Dolby Digital/DTS soundtracks.
