Notes
This function works only when the components are 
connected to the amplifier (or receiver) inputs 
according to the names on the function buttons.

the function buttons. In this case, refer to the 
operating instructions supplied with the receiver.
When recording, do not play any components other 
than the recording source. It will cause the automatic 
function selection to operate.
