Other Operations

Naming preset stations
and program sources
You can enter a name (index 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/TAPE jacks.
