Indexing Program Sources
This feature is useful when, for example, you have
more than one VCR: you can label one VCR as “VHS”
and label the other as “8mm.” Then, you can have the
amplifier display the index names so you can tell
which VCR you are using. This feature also comes in
handy if you connect a component to jacks designed
for another component (for example, connecting a
second CD player to the DAT/MD jacks or a DVD
player to the LD jacks).
