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 
AUDIO OUT or VIDEO 2 AUDIO OUT jacks. 
• Make sure to make both digital and analog 
connections to the TV/SAT and DVD inputs. Analog 
recording is not possible if you make only digital 
connections.
• The analog audio signals of the current input are 
output from the VIDEO 1 AUDIO OUT or VIDEO 2 
AUDIO OUT jacks.
• The signals input to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT 
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.
You can select analog audio signals for output to 
the 2nd zone.
Press 2ND ZONE repeatedly to select the 
analog audio signals for output to a stereo 
amplifier in another room.
Each time you press the button, the audio source 
changes cyclically as follows:
SOURCE
*1
 
t
 MD/TAPE 
t
 SA-CD/CD 
t

*1
The audio signals of the current INPUT 
SELECTOR is output.
*2
The audio signals of the last selected TUNER 
function (AM/FM) is output.
Tips
• Only signals from components connected to the 
analog input jacks are output through the 2ND ZONE 
OUT jacks. No signals are output from components 
connected to only the digital input jacks.
• When “SOURCE” is selected, the signals input to the 
MULTI CHANNEL INPUT (1, 2) jacks are not 
output from the 2ND ZONE OUT jacks even when 
MULTI CH IN (1, 2) is selected. The analog audio 
signals of the current function are output.
