Recording a Source
—Continued
Some steps can also be operated on the remote control-
ler, but described here are operations on the RDC-7.1.
Notes:
• No surround effects can be recorded.
• No DVD or any sources whose copyright is protected
can be recorded.
• There are some restrictions on recording of digital
audio/video signals. Refer to the manual of your
recording component.
• If recorded as analog signals, DTS signals are
recorded as noise, so never record signals from a
DTS-compatible CD or LD.
Recording music or a movie you are currently playing.
Operate on the RDC-7.1 in the main room.
You can record an audio source or a video on a compo-
nent while playing another source on another compo-
nent. For example, you can record a CD while watching
a DVD. Operate this function the RDC-7.1 in the main

Recording Audio/Video While Playing
1
Turn on the power supply to the RDC-7.1.
2
Check the connection to your recording
component.
An audio recorder should be connected to the
AUDIO OUT or DIGITAL OUT jacks, and a
video recorder to the VIDEO OUT jacks.
3
Check settings for a recorder connected.
1. On the Setup menu (See page 95), select
“Speaker/Output Setup”
→
“Audio Output
Assign,” and specify “Rec Out” as the setting
for the jack to which your audio recording
component is connected.
2. Similarly, select “Speaker/Output Setup”
→
“Video Output Assign,” and specify “Video
XX Rec Out” as the setting for the jack to
which your video recording component is
connected.
3. Press the [Setup] button to close the menu.
Hint:
Since Zone 3 Out and Rec Out use the same cir-
cuitry, audio recording is disabled if Zone 3 Out
is specified. Audio/video recording is also dis-
abled on the same component as that for playing.
