36BASIC RECORDINGREC OUT allows you to record one source whilewatching and/or listening to another source.Recording adjustments and other operations areperformed from the recording components. Refer to theoperation instructions for these components.1 Turn on the power to this unit and allconnected components.2 Select the source component you want torecord from by using REC OUT.• To record the current input source that you arewatching or listening to, set REC OUT toSOURCE.• To record the other source than the one that youare watching or listening to, set REC OUT to thesource you want to record.Note• At this setting, you can change the source to listen to or watchduring recording by pressing INPUT l/h (one of the inputselector buttons on the remote control).3 Start playback (or select a broadcast station)on the source component.4 Start recording on the recording component.y• Setting REC OUT to SOURCE and using the BGV function(see page 25) allows the recording of audio and video from adifferent source.Notes• Do a test recording before you start an actual recording.• When this unit is set in the standby mode, you cannot recordbetween other components connected to this unit.• The setting of BASS, TREBLE, BASS EXTENSION,VOLUME, “3 L/R BALANCE” on the SET MENU and DSPprograms does not affect the recorded material.• A source connected to the 6CH INPUT jacks of this unitcannot be recorded.• S-video and composite video signals pass independentlythrough this unit’s video circuits. Therefore, when recording ordubbing video signals, if your video source component isconnected to provide only an S-video (or only a compositevideo) signal, you can record only an S-video (or only acomposite video) signal by your VCR.• A given input source is not output on the same REC OUTchannel. (For example, the signal input from VCR 1 IN is notoutput on VCR 1 OUT.)• Check the copyright laws in your country to record fromrecords, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted materialmay infringe copyright laws.If you playback a video source that uses scrambled orencoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, thepicture itself may be disturbed due to those signals. Special considerations whenrecording DTS softwareThe DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting todigitally record the DTS bitstream will result in noisebeing recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit torecord sources that have DTS signals recorded on them,the following considerations and adjustments need to bemade.For LDs, DVDs and CDs encoded with DTS, when yourplayer is compatible with the DTS format, follow itsoperation instruction to make a setting so that the analogsignal will be output from the player. Timer playback/recordingThis unit can perform playback or recording with anexternal timer (not supplied). Refer to the operationinstruction for the component and the timer to be used.Notes• The stored data such as input source will be reflected in theplayback or recording with the timer.• If you do not want any sound output during the recording witha timer, turn the volume down.Memory back-upThe memory back-up circuit prevents the stored data(input source, volume level, set menu settings and soon) from being lost even if this unit is in the standbymode (disconnected from the AC outlet). However ifthe timer is turned off for more than one week, thestored data will be lost.BASSSPEAKERSABASSEXTENSIONPROCESSORDIRECTBVOLUMEINPUTINPUT MODEVIDEO AUXSILENTPHONESS VIDEO VIDEO AUDIOL R6CHINPUTOPTICALSTANDBY/ ONNATURAL SOUND AV RECEIVERTREBLE– +D I G I T A LEFFECT– +PROGRAMSTEREOSET MENUNEXT – +REC OUTV-AUXVCR2/DVRVCR1PHONOCDTUNERMD/TAPEDVD SOURCED-TV/LDCBL/SATCD-R2VCR2/DVRV-AUXVCR 1CBL/SATD-TV/LDDVDSOURCEREC OUTMD/TAPECD-RTUNERCDPHONOVCR2/DVRV-AUXVCR 1CBL/SATD-TV/LDDVDSOURCEREC OUTMD/TAPECD-RTUNERCDPHONO
