* Connect to a turntable (MM) that has a phono preamp built-in. If your
turntable (MM) does not have a built-in preamp, you will need a
commercially available phono preamp.
If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type cartridge, you will need a
commercially available MC head amp or MC transformer as well as a
phono preamp. See your turntable’s manual for details.
Connecting recording components
Connecting the power
To connect your receiver to power:
• Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
AV Recording
Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (such
as a cassette deck, CD-R, MD [MiniDisc]) connected
to the VCR OUT jacks. Video sources can be
recorded to a video recorder (such as a VCR or DVD
recorder) connected to the VCR/DVR Out jack.
To record an audio source:
1 Use the input selector buttons to select the
source that you want to record. You can watch
the source while recording. The receiver’s
MASTER VOLUME control has no effect on
recording.
2 Start recording on your recorder.
3 On the source component, start playback. If you
select another input source during recording,
that input source is recorded.
Recording Separate AV Sources
You can record audio and video from completely
separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio
onto your video recordings. This function takes
advantage of the fact that when an audio-only
input source (TV/CD) is selected, the video input
source remains unchanged.

To record audio and video from the same
source input
Notes
• The AV receiver must be turned on for
recording. Recording is not possible while it’s in
Standby mode.
• If you want to record directly from your TV or
playback VCR to the recording VCR without
going through the AV receiver, connect the
TV/VCR’s audio and video outputs directly to
the recording VCR’s audio and video inputs. See
the manuals supplied with your TV and VCR for
details.
• Video signals connected to composite video
inputs can be recorded only via composite
video outputs. If your TV/VCR is connected to a
composite video input, the recording VCR must
be connected to a composite video output.
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes
cannot be recorded.
• Copy-protected Blu-ray discs and DVDs cannot
be recorded.
• Sources connected to a digital input cannot be
recorded. Only analog inputs can be recorded.
• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t
attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.
