1 If you are recording a video source, you need to use the same type of connection for the source as for the recorder. For example,
you can’t record a component hooked up to composite video jacks with a recorder hooked up to the component video outputs
(see Connecting an HDD/DVD recorder, VCR and other video components on page 20 for more on video connections).
2 The receiver’s volume, balance, tone (bass, treble, loudness), and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal.
