Sony STR-DA5ES Operating Instructions - Page 47

Other Operations Notes • You cannot record a digital audio signal using a component connected to the analog TAPE OUT or MD/DAT OUT jacks. To record a digital audio signal, connect a digital component to the DIGITAL MD/DAT OUT jacks. • Sound adjustments do not affect the signal output from the TAPE OUT or MD/DAT OUT jacks. • The analog audio signals of the current function is output from the REC OUT jacks. When you use AUDIO SPLIT to assign a digital audio input (for example, MD/DAT OPTICAL), the analog audio signals of the assigned audio (for example, MD/ DAT ANALOG) is output. • The signals input to the MULTI CH IN jacks are not output from the REC OUT jacks even when MULTI/2CH ANALOG DIRECT is set to MULTI CH 1 or 2 DIRECT. The analog audio signals of the current function are output. • No signals are output from DIGITAL OUT jacks (MD/DAT OPTICAL OUT) when you set MULTI/ 2CH ANALOG DIRECT to 2CH ANALOG DIRECT. The digital circuitry power is cut off to ensure a superior sound quality. Recording on a video tape You can record from a VCR, a TV, or an LD player using the receiver. You can also add audio from a variety of audio sources when editing a video tape. See the operating instructions of your VCR or LD player if you need help. 1 Select the program source to be recorded. 2 Prepare the component for playing. For example, insert the laser disc you want to record into the LD player. 3 Insert a blank video tape into the VCR (VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2) for recording. 4 Start recording on the recording VCR, then start playing the video tape or laser disc you want to record. Tip You can record the sound from any audio source onto a video tape while copying from a video tape or laser disc. Locate the point where you want to start recording from another audio source, select the program source, then start playback. The audio from that source will be recorded onto the audio track of the video tape instead of the audio from the original medium. To resume audio recording from the original medium, select the video source again. Notes • Make sure to make both digital and analog connections to the TV/SAT and DVD/LD inputs. Analog recording is not possible if you make only digital connections. • Some sources contain copy guards to prevent recording. In this case, you may not be able to record from the sources. • The analog audio signals of the current function is output from the REC OUT jacks. When you use AUDIO SPLIT to assign a digital audio input (for example, MD/DAT OPTICAL), the analog audio signals of the assigned audio (for example, MD/ DAT ANALOG) is output. • The signals input to the MULTI CH IN jacks are not output from the REC OUT jacks even when MULTI/2CH ANALOG DIRECT is set to MULTI CH 1 or 2 DIRECT. The analog audio signals of the current function are output. Using the Sleep Timer You can set the receiver to turn off automatically at a specified time. Press SLEEP while the power is on. Each time you press the button, the display changes cyclically as follows: 2:00:00 t 1:30:00 t 1:00:00 t 0:30:00 t OFF While using Sleep Timer, "SLEEP" lights up in the display. Tips • You can freely specify the time. After pressing SLEEP, specify the time you want using the jog dial and cursor buttons ( or ) on the receiver. The sleep time changes in 1 second intervals. You can specify up to 5 hours. • To check the remaining time before the receiver turns off, press SLEEP. The remaining time appears in the display. 47
