Indexing Program Sources
You can enter a name of up to 8 characters for program
sources. These index names (for example, “VHS”)
appear in the amplifier’s display when a program
source is selected.
Note that no more than one name can be entered for
each program source.
This function is useful for distinguishing components
of the same kind; 2 VCRs, for example, 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 TUNER jacks.

DISPLAY
1
Select the program source (component) to be
named.
2
Press DPC MODE repeatedly until the INDEX
indicator lights up.

Create an index name by using the digital
processing control buttons as follows:
Press V or v to select a character, and then press b
to move the cursor to the next position.
The index name is stored automatically.
To insert a space
Press V or v until a blank space appears in the
display (the space is between “ " ” and “A”).
If you’ve made a mistake
Press B or b repeatedly until the character you
want to change flashes. Then select the right
character.
To assign index names to other sources
Repeat the procedure above.
z
You can display either the program source name or
component originally meant for the selected jacks
Each time you press DISPLAY, the display switches
between the component originally meant for the
selected jacks and the program source name.
Recording
This amplifier makes it easy to record to and from the
components connected to the amplifier. You don’t
have to connect playback and recording components
directly: once you select a program source on the
amplifier, 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.
