Notes on input mode selection q For the TV/DBS and DVD/VCR 3 sources, the input mode selected on the function "11. INPUT MODE" in the SET MENU mode is selected when you turn on the power of this unit. q To play back an LD source with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoded, set the input mode to "AUTO" or "AC-3 RF". q When you want to enjoy a source which has normal 2channel signals with a Dolby Pro Logic Surround program, select the ANALOG mode. q In the AUTO mode, there may be a case depending on some LD players or DVD players that when you make a search on a source encoded with the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or the DTS during playback and then playback is restored, sound output is interrupted for a moment because the digital input signal is selected again. q For sources PHONO, TUNER, TAPE 2, VCR 1, VCR 2 and V-AUX, the input mode cannot be changed because they input analog signals only to this unit. q When the input source is changed to LD, CD, MD/TAPE 1, TV/DBS or DVD/VCR 3, or the input mode is changed, the currently selected input mode is shown on the display panel and the monitor screen. Likewise, when the REC OUT selector is set to LD, TV/DBS, VCR 2, DVD/VCR 3 or VIDEO AUX, both the audio and video signals of the selected source can be recorded by your first VCR which is connected to this unit's VCR 1 OUT terminals.

DECODER button so that the "TAPE 2 MON" indicator lights up on the display (and set the INPUT SELECTOR to any source other than MD/TAPE 1 before beginning to record). 43 Notes on recording The settings of DSP and the VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE controls and the BASS EXTENSION switch have no effect on the material being recorded. q Composite video and S video signals pass independently through this unit's video circuits. Therefore, when recording or dubbing video signals, if your video source unit is connected to provide only a S video (or only a composite video) signal, you can record only a S video (or only a composite video) signal on your VCR.
