SPECIAL TYPES OF RECORDING
Recording sound alone
The BeoVision Avant video tape
recorder can record sound alone –
without any pictures. The sound
recorded will be of very high quality.
When the video tape recorder records
sound alone, it automatically records at
half the usual speed (LP). This enables
you to record uninterruptedly for up to
eight hours if you use an E-240 tape.
Such ‘audio-only’ recordings can be
made from an audio source in your
Bang & Olufsen audio system. You can
also record the sound from your
satellite radio programmes in this way.
Recording from audio system…
There are two ways of recording sound from your
Bang & Olufsen audio system on video tape. The
method you use depends on the way your Bang &
Olufsen audio system is used with the BeoVision
Avant:
• Method 1 – Audio and video system
Your loudspeakers are connected to the audio
system (for more information of such a setup,
see page 65).
• Method 2 – Surround sound AV system
Your loudspeakers are connected to the
BeoVision Avant (for more information of this
setup, see pages 62-64).
Recording from satellite radio…
To record satellite radio programmes on video
tape, just switch on to the programme and press
RECORD twice on Beo4 to start recording. As
described for Method 1 – Audio and video system.
