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 fllnction is useflfl 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 fk)r
another type of component, for example, a second CD
player connected to the MD/TAPE jacks.

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.
