Only video signals that were input to this receiver through a composite video cable or analog audio inputs can be recorded. Signals that were input through an HDMI cable, component video cable or digital audio cable (see Connecting other audio components on page 19 for more on connections).

Press RECEIVER then press SIGNAL SEL and select the analog inputs (A) for the source component of which you want to record (see page 25 for more on this). 3 Prepare the source you want to record. Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD etc. 4 Prepare the recorder. Insert a blank tape, MD, video etc. 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're unsure. 5 Start recording, then start playback of the source component. Note • The receiver's volume, balance, tone (bass, treble, loudness), and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal. • Some video sources are copy-protected. These cannot be recorded.
