Recording From Digital Audio Components - Pioneer VSX-839RDS Operating Instructions Manual

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 a digital out jack which is marked PCM/
in jacks in the upper left-hand corner). If you connect this 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.
memo
The receiver's volume, channel level, tone (BASS, TREBLE, and LOUDNESS), and surround
effects have no effect on the recorded signal.

on them and making a digital copy is not possible. It is still
possible to copy these digital sources if you have hooked the
components up with analog connections (in this case, the cop-
ies will not be exact digital reproductions). Refer to the previ-
ous page in this case.
