THROUGH NORMAL ZOOM a.• When set to a resolution with which the TV (monitor) is not compatible, no picture is output. Also, in some cases no picture will be output due to copyright protection signals. In this case, change the setting. • When AUTO is selected, the resolution is selected automatically according to the capacity of the TV (monitor) connected by HDMI. When PURE is selected, the signals are output with the same resolution as when input (At this time, video signals are only output from the same type of terminals to which they were input). • This setting is valid for HDMI and component outputs. b.If the image doesn't match your monitor type, adjust the aspect ratio on the source component or on the monitor. 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).2 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 S-Video if your source has also been connected using S-Video. Note 1 • All of the setting items can be set for each input source. • Setting items other than V. CONV can only be selected when V. CONV is set to ON. 2 • The receiver's volume, Audio parameters (the tone controls, for example), and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal. • Some digital sources are copy-protected, and can only be recorded in analog. • Some video sources are copy-protected. These cannot be recorded. 98 En
