MULTI-ZONE remote controls
Set the MULTI-ZONE operation switch to ZONE 2 or ZONE 
3
 to operate the corresponding zone.
The following table shows the possible MULTI-ZONE 
remote controls:
Making an audio or a video recording
You can make an audio or a video recording from the 
built-in tuner, or from an audio or video source 
connected to the receiver (such as a CD player or TV).
1
Keep in mind you can’t make a digital recording from an 
analog source or vice-versa, so make sure the 
components you are recording to/from are hooked up in 
the same way (see Connecting your equipment on 
page 15 for more on connections). 
Since the video converter is not available when making 
recordings (from the video OUT jacks) make sure to use 
the same type of video cable for connecting your recorder 
as you used to connect your video source (the one you 
want to record) to this receiver. For example, you must 
connect your recorder using Component video if your 
source has also been connected using Component video.
1
Select the source you want to record.
Use the input function buttons (or INPUT SELECT). 
2
Prepare the source you want to record.
Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD etc.
3
Select the input signal according to the signal to be 
recorded.
Use the remote control’s SIGNAL SEL button.
4
Prepare the recorder.
Insert a blank tape, MD, video etc. into the recording 
device and set the recording levels. Refer to the 
instructions that came with the recorder if you are 
unsure how to do this. Most video recorders set the audio 
recording level automatically—check the component’s 
instruction manual if you’re unsure.
5
Start recording, then start playback of the source 
component.
Reducing the level of an analog signal
The input attenuator lowers the input level of an analog 
signal when it’s too strong. You can use this if you find 
that the OVER indicator lights often or you can hear 
distortion in the sound.
2
Press 
, then press A.ATT to switch the 
input attenuator on or off. 
Using the sleep timer
The sleep timer switches the receiver into standby after a 
specified amount of time so you can fall asleep without 
worrying about the receiver being left on all night. Use 
the remote control to set the sleep timer.
Press 
, then press SLEEP repeatedly to set 
the sleep time.
• You can check the remaining sleep time at any time 
by pressing SLEEP once. Pressing repeatedly will 
cycle through the sleep options again.
3
Dimming the display
You can choose between four brightness levels for the 
front panel display. Note that when selecting sources, the 
display automatically brightens for a few seconds.
Press 
, then press DIMMER repeatedly to 
change the brightness of the front panel display.

a
a.You can only use this button when Speaker System is set to ZONE 
2.
MUTE
Mutes the sound or restores the sound if it has 
been muted (adjusting the volume also 
restores the sound).
a
Note
1 •  The  receiver’s volume, Audio parameters (the tone controls, for example), and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal.
• Some digital sources are copy-protected, and can only be recorded in analog.
• Some video sources are copy-protected. These cannot be recorded.
2 The attenuator isn’t available with digital sources, or when using the Stream Direct (ANALOG DIRECT) modes.
3 The sleep timer is valid for all zones. If any zone is on, the sleep timer continues functioning.
