Yamaha RX-V1600 Owner's Manual

Recording adjustments and other operations are 
performed from the recording components. Refer to the 
operation instructions for those components.

Turn on the power of this unit and all 
connected components.
See page 30 for details.

Do a test recording before you start an actual recording.

• The source you record and the source sent to Zone 2 can be 

selected separately.

• When this unit is in the standby mode, you cannot record from 

other components connected to this unit.

• The settings for TONE CONTROL (see page 38), VOLUME, 

SP LEVEL (see page 80) and programs do not affect recorded 
material.

• A source connected to the MULTI CH INPUT jacks of this unit 

cannot be recorded.

• S-video and composite video signals pass independently 

through the video circuits of this unit. Therefore, when 
recording or dubbing video signals, if your video source 
component is connected to provide only an S-video or only a 
composite video signal, you can record only an S-video or only 
a composite video signal to your VCR.

• Digital signals input at the DIGITAL INPUT jacks are not 

output at the analog AUDIO OUT L/R jacks for recording. 
Likewise, analog signals input at the AUDIO IN L/R jacks are 
not output at the DIGITAL OUTPUT jack. Therefore, if your 
source component is connected to provide only digital or analog 
signals, you can only record digital or analog signals.

• A given input source is not output on the same OUT (REC) 

channel. For example, the signal input at VCR 1 IN is not 
output at VCR 1 OUT.

• Check the copyright laws in your country to record from 

records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyrighted material may 
infringe copyright laws.

• Some HDMI audio signals input at the HDMI IN 1 or HDMI IN 

2 jack of this unit may not be output at the DIGITAL AUDIO 
(OPTICAL) jacks depending on the type of those HDMI audio 
signals.

■ Notes on the DTS software
The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. Attempting to 
digitally record the DTS bitstream will result in noise 
being recorded. Therefore, if you want to use this unit to 
record sources that have DTS signals recorded on them, 
the following considerations and adjustments need to be 
made.
For DVDs and CDs encoded in DTS, when your player is 
compatible with the DTS format, follow its operation 
instructions to make a setting so that the analog signal will 
be output from the player.

If you play back a video source that uses scrambled or 
encoded signals to prevent it from being dubbed, the 
picture itself may be disturbed due to those signals.
