AV Recording
Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (such 
as a cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the VCR 
OUT
 jacks. Video sources can be recorded to a 
video recorder (such as a VCR or DVD recorder) 
connected to the VCR/DVR Out jack.
To record an audio source:
Use the input selector buttons to select the 
source that you want to record. You can watch 
the source while recording. The receiver’s 
MASTER VOLUME control has no effect on 
recording.
Start recording on your recorder.
On the source component, start playback. If you 
select another input source during recording, 
that input source will be recorded.
Recording Separate AV Sources
You can record audio and video from completely 
separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio 
onto your video recordings. This function takes 
advantage of the fact that when an audio-only 
input source (TV/CD) is selected, the video input 
source remains unchanged.
In the following example, audio from the CD player 
connected to the TV/CD IN jack and video from the 
camcorder connected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO 
jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the 
VCR/DVR OUT jacks.
To record separate AV sources:
Prepare the camcorder and CD player for 
playback and the VCR for recording.
Press the AUX input selector.
Press the TV/CD input selector. This selects the 
CD player as the audio source, but leaves the 
camcorder as the video source.
Start recording on the VCR and start playback 
on the camcorder and CD player. The video from 
the camcorder and the audio from the CD player 
are recorded by the VCR.
Connecting the power
To connect your receiver to power:
• Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
Using rubber feet/pads for more stable 
speakers
We recommend using the rubber feet (provided) to 
achieve the best possible sound from your 
speakers. The rubber feet prevent the speakers 
from moving, providing a more stable platform.
Notes
The AV receiver must be turned on for 
recording. Recording is not possible while it’s in 
Standby mode.
If you want to record directly from your TV or 
playback VCR to the recording VCR without 
going through the AV receiver, connect the 
TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to 
the recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See 
the manuals supplied with your TV and VCR for 
details.
Video signals connected to composite video 
inputs can be recorded only via composite 
video outputs. If your TV/VCR is connected to a 
composite video input, the recording VCR must 
be connected to a composite video output.
The surround sound and DSP listening modes 
cannot be recorded.
Copy-protected Blu-ray discs and DVDs cannot 
be recorded.
Sources connected to a digital input cannot be 
recorded. Only analog inputs can be recorded.
DTS  signals  will  be  recorded as noise, so don’t 
attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.
