Tape Recording
In normal operation, the audio or video
source selected for listening through the
AVR40 is sent to the record outputs. This
means that any program you are watch-
ing or listening to may be recorded sim-
ply by placing machines connected to the
outputs for Tape 1 §, Tape 2 ¢ or
Video 1 ª in the record mode.
When a tape recorder with separate
record and playback heads is used, you
may monitor the output of the recording
by selecting the Tape 1/Monitor input
8d
. Note that the word MONITOR
will briefly appear in the front panel dis-
play to remind you that you are listening
to the record playback instead of the
actual input source being recorded. After
three seconds the display will once again
display the selected input source, but the
red TAPE M indicator will remain illu-
minated to remind you that you are lis-
tening to the record playback rather than
the direct input source.
Video Dubbing
Special circuits in the AVR40 make it pos-
sible to copy the program from one video
source to another while you are listening
to a separate and different input. When
making a video dub note that the VCR
connected to Video 1 ª will always be
the record machine, and the playback
source will be either the equipment con-
nected to the Video 2 input ¶ or the
front panel Video 3
%
.
To make a video copy, simply press the
front panel Video Dubbing button
˘
34
corresponding to the video source
being played back. It is not necessary to
press the Input Selection buttons when
making a direct video dub. The
information display will briefly show
VID2 > 1 or VID3 > 1 to confirm
the dubbing operation. After the display
returns to show the current input source
for the main system, a red indicator will
illuminate inside the Video Dubbing
button to remind you that a Video Dub is
in process.
