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).3 Keep in mind you can't make a digital recording from an analog source or vice-versa, so make sure the components you are recording to/from are hooked up in the same way (see Connecting your equipment on page 15 for more on connections). Since the video converter is not available when making recordings (from the video OUT jacks) make sure to use the same type of video cable for connecting your recorder as you used to connect your video source (the one you want to record) to this receiver. For example, you must connect your recorder using Component video if your source has also been connected using Component video. For more information about video connections, see Connecting an HDD/DVD recorder, VCR and other video sources on page 28.

Reducing the level of an analog signal The input attenuator lowers the input level of an analog signal when it's too strong. You can use this if you find that the OVER indicator lights often or you can hear distortion in the sound.4 INPUT SELECT 12 HDMI OUT 3 SIGNAL SEL MCACC 45 SLEEP 6 SBch A.ATT DIMMER 789 D.ACCESS CH LEVEL 0 CLASS ENTER AUDIO INFO CH DISP TV CTRL RECEIVER REMOTE SETUP ZONE 2 ZONE 3 MAIN • Press RECEIVER , then press A.ATT to switch the input attenuator on or off.
