Indexing Preset Stations
and Program Sources
and Program Sources
You can enter a name of up to 8 characters for preset
stations (station index) and program sources. These index
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.
