Using the Preset Buttons Your receiver allows you to store 30 station settings and quickly access them, using the 10 Preset buttons. The preset stations are designated by the number from 1 to 30.

Making a Recording When you select NV, Aux, Tuner or CD as your sound source, recordings may be made on Tape/VCR 1 or 2, or both simultaneously. When making recordings on TapeNCR 1 and 2 simultaneously, you may listen directly to the source, or you may monitor tape deck 2. DO NOT monitor tape deck 1 during this procedure. If you wish to copy a tape, place it in deck 1, and press the TapeNCR1 Copy button on your receiver. You may then record the tape using tape deck 2.

The Dolby Pro Logic system employs four-channels: the left and right main channels, the center channel (to characterize dialogue), and the rear surround-sound channel (to characterize sound effects, background and other ambient information). Dolby Surround is encoded on the sound track of commercially available video cassettes and video discs as well. When you play a source encoded with Dolby Surround on your home theater system with the Dolby Pro Logic mode on, the AVR15 decodes the signal and steers the surround-sound effects. Dolby Pro Logic mode is also most effective on many stereo sources not encoded with Dolby Surround. 7
