Recording on a video tape
You can record from a VCR, a TV or a DVD 
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 DVD player if you need help.
1
Select the program source to be 
recorded.
2
Prepare the component for playing.
For example, insert a video tape you want to 
record into VCR.
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 
DVD 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 DVD. 
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
• You cannot record a digital audio signal using a 
component connected to the analog VIDEO 1

connections to the TV/SAT and DVD inputs. Analog

connections.

output from the VIDEO 1 AUDIO OUT or VIDEO 2 
AUDIO OUT jacks.
• The signals input to the MULTI CH IN jacks are not 
output from VIDEO 1 AUDIO OUT or VIDEO 2 
AUDIO OUT jacks even when MULTI CH IN is 
being used. The analog audio signals of the current or 
previously used input are output.
• Some sources contain copy guards to prevent 
recording. In this case, you may not be able to record 
from the sources.
There are 2 ways to listen to the sound in another 
zone. You can
