      If the Pass Through function does not work on your Sony Receiver, select “HDMI A” using the HDMI OUTPUT button.

    • G
      Grace CopelandSep 6, 2025
      Check that the equipment is connected correctly. Select the source equipment. Check the connection of the recording deck according to the video signals you want to record. Analog input signals (composite video) can be output only from the analog output jacks. Video input signals via the HDMI IN jacks cannot be recorded. If copyright protection to prevent recording is contained in the sources, you may not be able to record from the sources. While only composite video signals are being recorded, set “Auto Standby” to “Off”. Be sure to use a connecting cable for the HDMI jack corresponding to a High Speed HDMI cable when you want to view images or listen to sound, especially for 1080p, Deep Color, or 3D or 4K transmissions.
