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).
Only video signals that were input to this receiver through a
composite video cable or analog audio inputs can be
recorded. Signals that were input through an HDMI cable,
component video cable or digital audio cable (see
Connecting other audio components on page 19 for more on
connections).

Press input function buttons to select the input function
you want to record.
The input of the receiver will switch over, and you will be able
to operate other components using the remote control.
• The input source can also be selected by using INPUT
SELECT buttons on the remote control, or by
using the front panel INPUT SELECTOR dial.

Select the audio input signal (if necessary).
Press then press SIGNAL SEL and select the
