Other Operations

Indexing Preset Stations and
Programme Sources
You can enter a name of up to 8 characters for preset
stations (station index) and programme sources. These
index names (for example, "VHS") appear in the
receiver's display when a station or programme source
is selected. This function is useful for distinguishing
components of the same kind. 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.
Notes
• Not more than one name can be entered for each preset
station or programme source.
• You cannot index FM RDS stations or components
connected to the 5.1 CH/DVD jacks.

Receiver Operations

Recording

This receiver makes it easy to record to and from the
components connected to the receiver. You don't have
to connect playback and recording components
directly: once you select a programme 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.
