Naming Preset Stations and
Program Sources
You can enter a name of up to 8 characters for preset
stations and program sources These names (for example,
“VHS”) appear in the receiver’s display when a station or
program source is selected
Note that no more than one name can be entered for each
preset station or program source
This function is useful for distinguishing components of
the same kind For example, two VCRs can be specified
as “VHS” and “Smm,” respectively It is also handy for
identifying components connected to jacks meant for
another type of component, for example, a second CD
player connected to the MD/DAT jacks
To index a preset station
Rotate FUNCTION to select the tuner.
The last station you received is tuned in
To index a program source
Select the program source (component) to be
named, then go to Step 3
Tune in the preset station you want to create an
index name for.
If you are not familiar with how to tune in preset
stations, see “Tuning to preset stations” on page 46

Recording
Your receiver makes it easy to record to and from the
components connected to it You don’t have to connect
the playback and recording components directly to each
other: once you select a program source on the receiver,
you can record and edit as you normally would using the
controls on each component
Before you begin, make sure you’ve connected all
components properly
