Naming Preset Stations and
Program Sources
You can enter a name ot up to 8 characters tor preset
stations and program sources. These names (tor 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.
