Naming Preset Stations And Program Sources; Recording - Sony STR-DE475 Operating Instructions Manual

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.

The last station you received is tuned in.
To name a program source

named, then go to Step 3.

index name for.
If you are not familiar with how to tune in preset
stations, see "Tuning to preset stations" on page 38.

To insert a space

display (you can find the space character between "
and "A").
If you've made a mistake
Press MENU or repeatedly until the character to
be changed flashes, then press MENU + or – to select
the right character.
5
Press ENTER.
To assign index names to other stations
Repeat Steps 2 to 5.
Note
You cannot change the name of an RDS station.

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.
