. l Other Operations Naming Preset Stations and Program Sources You can enter a 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/DAT jacks. 1 To index a preset station Press TUNER. The last station you received is tuned in. To index a program source Select the program source (component) to be named, then go to Step 3. 2 Tune in the preset station you want to create an index name for. If you are not familiar with how to tune in preset stations, see "Tuning to preset stations" on page 46. 3 Press NAME. 4 Create an index name by using the jog dial and cursor buttons: Turn the jog dial to select a character, then press to move the cursor to the next position. To insert a space Turn the jog dial until a blank space appears in the display (the space character is between "11" and "A"). If you've made a mistake Press or repeatedly until the character to be changed flashes, then turn the jog dial to select the right character. 5 Press ENTER. To assign index names to other stations Repeat Steps 2 to 5. 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.
