ONKYO TX-NR801 Manuel D'Instructions

Recording a Source

This method outputs to the audio and video outputs the
currently selected input source signal. This method
allows you to record a signal while you are actually lis-
tening to or watching it.

Notes:
• If you change the input source during recording, you will

record the signals from the newly selected input source.

• You cannot record the surround effects.
• Digital signals input to the DIGITAL IN (COAX) and

DIGITAL IN (OPT) inputs will be output to the DIG-
ITAL OUT (OPT) output. However, MP3, WMA,
WAV, and other music formats played using Net Audio
are only output as analog audio.

• Digital input signals are only output to the digital out-

puts and analog input signals are only output from the
analog outputs. There is no conversion from digital to
analog or vice versa. When connecting CD players
and other digital components, do not connect only the
digital terminals, but the analog ones as well.

• There are some restrictions on recording digital sig-

nals. When making digital recordings, consult the

instruction manual that came with your digital record-
ing equipment (e.g., MD recorder or DAT deck) to
know what restrictions are imposed.

• You cannot record the source connected to the MULTI

CH INPUT connector.

• When listening to music in the remote zone, you can

record the music or video that is being played in the
main zone.

• If you select FM (or AM) with the TUNER input

source button when the recording source is set to AM
(or FM), the output for the recording source also
changes to AM (or FM).

Follow the procedure given below to record an input
source signal different from that which you are listening
to or watching at the time of recording.

Notes:
• Be aware that the remote (Zone 2) and recording

(REC OUT) outputs use the same circuit and therefore
cannot be used at the same time.

• You cannot record the surround effects.
• Digital signals input to the DIGITAL IN (COAX) and

DIGITAL IN (OPT) inputs will be output to the DIG-
ITAL OUT (OPT) outputs.

• There are some restrictions on recording digital sig-

nals. When making digital recordings, consult the
instruction manual that came with your digital record-
ing equipment (e.g., MD recorder or DAT deck) to
know what restrictions are imposed.

• You cannot record the source connected to the MULTI

CH INPUT connector.

• You cannot listen to a broadcast from one station

while recording the broadcast from another.
