Indexing program sources
This feature is useful when, for example, you have
more than one VCR: you can label one VCR as “VHS”
and label the other as “8mm.” Then, you can have the
receiver display the index names so you can tell which
VCR you are using. This feature also comes in handy if
you connect a component to jacks designed for another
component (for example, connecting a second CD
player to the DAT/MD jacks or a DVD player to the
LD jacks).
1
Select the FUNCTION you want to label.
2 Press DPC MODE repeatedly until the INDEX
indicator lights up.
3
Create a station index name by using the
DIGITAL PROCESSING CONTROL knobs as
follows:
Turn CHARACTER to select a character, then
turn POSITION to move the cursor to the next
position.
To insert a space, turn CHARACTER until a blank space
appears in the display, the space is between " and A.
The station index is stored automatically.
If you’ve made a mistake
Turn POSITION until the character you want to change
flashes. Then select the right character.
You can display either the index or function name
Each time you press DISPLAY, the display switches
between the function name and the index name.
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 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.
