Recording This chapter explains how to record the selected input source to an AV component with recording capability, and how to record audio and video from two different sources. Recording the Input Source You can record only to AV components that are connected to the TAPE OUT or VIDEO 1 OUT connectors. See pages 10-19 for information on connecting your AV components to the TX-SR501/TX-SR501E.

The TX-SR501/TX-SR501E's VOLUME control has no effect on recording. Recording from Different AV Sources With this function you can record audio and video from different sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact that when an audio-only input source (i.e., TAPE, TUNER, or CD) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged. For example, if you first select the VIDEO 3 input source, followed by the CD input source, you can watch the video from the VIDEO 3 input and listen to the audio from the CD input. In the following example, audio from the CD player connected to the CD IN connectors, and video from the video camera connected to the VIDEO 3 INPUT VIDEO connector are recorded onto the VCR, which is connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT connectors.

Notes: • You cannot record from AV components that are connected to the digital inputs. You must use analog connections. • The surround effects produced by the surround and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded. • You cannot record from an AV component that is connected to the multi-channel inputs. • If you select another input source while recording, that input source will be recorded instead. 1. Prepare the camera and CD player for playback. 2. Prepare the VCR for recording. 3. Press the [VIDEO 3] input selector button. 4. Press the [CD] input selector button. This selects the CD player as the audio source, but leaves the video camera as the video source. 5. Start recording on the VCR and start playback on the video camera and CD player. The video from the camera, and the audio from the CD player are recorded by the VCR. Notes: • You cannot record audio from an AV component that is connected digitally. You must use an analog connection. • The surround effects produced by the surround and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded. • If you select another input source while recording, that input source will be recorded instead. 39
