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 cormected to jacks meant for
another type of component, for example, a second CD
player cormected to the MD/DAT jacks
