Recording

Recording to a Tape Player

Input signals from an audio source playing 

in the TGIV can be re cord ed using the left and 
right audio outputs. The tape player will receive 
a straight copy of the analog source signal going 
in, un af fect ed by the volume, tone or any sur-
 round modes. If you are playing a digital source, 
the tape player will receive a downmixed stereo 
analog signal for recording.

•     Turn OFF the Fully Automatic mode. 

This is because some tape decks, such 
as three-head decks, will have an output 
signal going into the TGIV during record-
ing. The DAT or TAPE inputs may be 
in cor rect ly se lect ed as an input, rather 
than the source you are trying to record.

•     Manually select the source such as CD 

and play it through your system.

•     Set your tape player to record and adjust 

the input levels for the best per for mance. 
Once the levels are correct, you can reset 
your source to the beginning and make 
your re cord ing.

•     Do not select another Main Zone input 

while you are recording.

Recording to a VCR

Any video source playing in the TGIV can be 

re cord ed using the left and right audio and the 
video outputs. The VCR will receive a straight 
copy of the source signal going in, unaffected by 
the volume, tone or any surround modes.

•     Select the video source and play it 

through your system.

•     Set your VCR to record.

•     Do not select another Main Zone source 

while you are recording.

•     The VID2/MON2 output can also be used 

for recording, but fi rst make sure that it 
is set to VID2 in the VIDEO menu of the 
OSD (see page 37). This output will then 
mute to prevent feedback whenever the 
VID2 input source is selected.

•     Do not use the OSD while recording as 

the incoming video is shut off while the 
OSD is displayed
