Indexing Preset Stations
and Program Sources
You can enter a name of up to 8 characters for preset
stations (station index) and program sources. These index
names (for example. “VHS") appear in the receiver’s
display when a station or program source is selecteS.
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 "8MM.” 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 TAPE/MD jacks.
1 To index a preset station
Press 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.
2 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 38.
3 Press CURSOR MODE repeat^ly until the INDEX
indicator lights up.
4 Create an index name by using the cursor buttons
as follows:
Press A or V to select a character, then press > to
move the cursor to the next position.
The index name is stored automatically.
To insert a space
Press
A or V until a blank space appears in the
display (the space character is between "11” and "A”).
If you've made a mistake
Press or repeatedly until the character to be
changed flashes, then select the right character.
To assign index names to other stations
Repeat Steps 2 to 4.
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.
