jacks. To record a digital audio signal, connect a 
digital component to the DIGITAL OPTICAL 
MD/TAPE OUT jacks.
• Sound adjustments do not affect the signal output 
from the MD/TAPE OUT jacks.
• The analog audio signals of the current input is 
output from the MD/TAPE OUT jacks.
• The signals input to the MULTI CH IN jacks are not 
output from the MD/TAPE 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.
Recording on a video tape
You can record from a VCR, a TV or a DVD 
player 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.

recorded.
2
Prepare the component for playing.
For example, insert a video tape you want to 
record into VCR.
3

(VIDEO 1) 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.

• Make sure to make both digital and analog 
connections to the VIDEO 2 and DVD inputs. 
Analog recording is not possible if you make only

signals of the current or previously used input are 
output.
