Notes:
• The receiver must be turned on for recording.
Recording is not possible while it's in Standby mode.
• If you want to record directly from your TV or
playback VCR to the recording VCR without going
through the receiver, connect the TV/VCR's audio and
video outputs directly to the recording VCR's audio
and video inputs. See the manuals supplied with your
TV and VCR for details.
• Video signals connected to composite video inputs
can be recorded only via composite video outputs. If
your TV/VCR is connected to a composite video
input, the recording VCR must be connected to a
composite video output.

Connecting the Power Cord

Connect the receiver's power cord to a suitable wall outlet.
Notes:
• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.
• Turning on the receiver may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on
the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the receiver into a different branch circuit.
