Connecting the AV Receiver—Continued
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 only be recorded 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.
Similarly, video signals connected to S-Video inputs can only be recorded via S-Video outputs. If your TV/VCR is
connected to an S-Video input, the recording VCR must be connected to an S-Video output.
• Video and audio signals that are input via the VCR/DVR IN will not be output by VCR/DVR OUT. When recording,
select an input source other than VCR/DVR.
