Conversion to 1080p is available only for the input signals of 480i/576i/480p/576p. 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 To use this feature, you must set ZONE2/RECSEL to RECSEL in the ZONE Audio Setup. For details, see ZONE Audio Setup on page 69. 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 12 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. For more information about video connections, see Connecting a DVD/HDD recorder, VCR and other video sources on page 16.
