Other Operations
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
“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
MD/DAT jacks.
