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 one digital out jack which are marked PCM/2/DTS. 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.

Recording from Video Components

The following operations show you how to record audio and video to the video tape recorder connected to the
