Chapter 7:
Making recordings
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).
1
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 equi
p
ment
on
page 16 for more on connections).
If you want to record a video source, you also
need to use the same type of connection for the
source as for the recorder. For example, you
can’t record a component hooked up to
composite video jacks with a recorder hooked
up to the component video outputs (see
page 23 for more on video connections).
1
Select the source you want to record.
Use the
MULTI CONTROL
buttons (or
INPUT
SELECTOR
).
2
Select the input signal (if necessary).
Press the
button then press
SIGNAL SEL
to select the input signal
corresponding to the source component (see
page 36 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.
2
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
1
If you are recording a video source, you need to use the same type of connection for the source as for the recorder. For example,
you can’t record a component hooked up to composite video jacks with a recorder hooked up to the component video outputs
(see
Connecting an HDD/DVD recorder, VCR and other video sources
on page 23 for more on video connections).
