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 instruc-

tion 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.

The attenuator isn’t available with digital

sources, or when using the Stream Direct

(ANALOG DIRECT) modes.

% Press to the receiver operation

mode, 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 to the receiver operation

mode, then press SLEEP repeatedly to set

the sleep time.

any time by pressing SLEEP once. Pressing

repeatedly will cycle through the sleep options

again.

! The sleep timer is valid for all zones. If

any zone is on, the sleep timer continues

functioning.

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 to the receiver operation

mode, then press DIMMER repeatedly to

change the brightness of the front panel

display.

current settings for features such as surround

back channel processing and your current

You can also press MULTI-ZONE ON/OFF on

the front panel to switch off all output to the sub

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).

Keep in mind you can’t make a digital record-

ing 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 11 for more

on connections).

! 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.

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.
