Recording on an audio tape or 
MiniDisc
You can record on a cassette tape or MiniDisc 
using the receiver. See the operating instructions 
of your cassette deck or MD deck if you need 
help.

Select the component to be recorded.
2
Prepare the component for playing.
For example, insert a CD into the CD 
player.

Insert a blank tape or MD into the 
recording deck and adjust the 
recording level, if necessary.

Start recording on the recording deck, 
then start playback on the playback 
component.
Note
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 or a TV 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 if you 
need help.

Tip
You can record the sound from any audio source onto 
a video tape while copying from a video tape. 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.
