Making a Recording
Making an Audio or a
Video Recording
You can make an audio or a video recording
from the built-in tuner, or from an audio or
video source connected to the receiver (such
as a CD player or TV).
Keep in mind you cannot make a digital
recording from an analog source or vice-versa,
so make sure the components you are
recording to/from are connected in the same
way (see pages 14, 15, 17 for more on
connections).
If you want to record from a video source,
you also need use the same type of
connection for the source as for the recorder.
For example, you cannot record a
component connected using an S-video cord
with a recorder connected using a standard
video cord (see page 13 for more on video
connections).
Note:
The receiver's volume, balance, tone (bass,
treble, loudness), and surround effects have
no effect on the recorded signal.
1 Select the source you want to
record.
Use the MULTI CONTROL buttons on the
remote (or MULTI JOG dial on the front
panel).
2 Select the input signal (if
necessary).
Press SIGNAL SEL (SIGNAL SELECT) to
select the input signal corresponding to
the source component (see page 30 for
more on this).
3 Prepare the source you want to
record.
Tune to the radio station, load the CD,
video, DVD or other source.
4 Prepare the recorder.
Insert a blank tape, MD, video or other
recording medium into the recording
device and set the recording levels. Refer
to the instructions that came with the
recorder if you are unsure how to do this.
Most video recorders set the audio
recording level automatically—check the
component’s instruction manual if you
are unsure.
5 Start recording, then start play-
back of the source component.
Monitoring Your Recording
You can listen to (monitor) the recording as
it is being made using the MONITOR button
on the front panel (a cassette deck would
have to have a record monitor function).
• Press the MONITOR button to
switch between the recorded
signal and the original source
signal.
