Indexing Program Sources; Recording - Sony TA-VE910 Operating Instructions Manual

Basic Operations

Indexing Program Sources

You can enter a name of up to 8 characters for program
sources. These index names (for example, "VHS")
appear in the amplifier's display when a program
source is selected.
Note that no more than one name can be entered for
each program source.
This function is useful for distinguishing components
of the same kind; 2 VCRs, for example, 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 TUNER jacks.

Recording

This amplifier makes it easy to record to and from the
components connected to the amplifier. You don't
have to connect playback and recording components
directly: once you select a program source on the
amplifier, 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.
