Receiver Operations
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).
1 Press the FUNCTION button you want to label.
2 Press DPC MODE repeatedly until the INDEX
indicator lights up.
3 Create a name by using the digital processing
control buttons as follows:
Press
or to select a character, and then
press
to move the cursor to the next position.
To insert a space, press or until a blank space
appears in the display (the space is between “}” and
“!”).
The name you created is stored automatically.
If you’ve made a mistake
Press or repeatedly 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.

Recording on an audio tape or MiniDisc
You can record on a cassette tape, Digital Audio Tape
or MiniDisc using the receiver. See the instruction
manual of your cassette deck, DAT deck, or MD deck if
you need help.
1 Press one of the function buttons to select the
component to be recorded.
2 Set the component to be ready for playing.
For example, insert a CD into the CD player.
3 Insert a blank tape into the recording deck and
adjust the recording level, if necessary.
4 Start recording on the recording deck and then
start playing the component.
You can monitor the sound being recorded
If you connected a 3-head tape deck to the TAPE
MONITOR jacks, press TAPE MONITOR. The TAPE
MONITOR indicator lights up and you can hear the
sound being recorded.
Note
When you record on a DAT or MD connected to the DAT/
MD REC OUT jacks, sound adjustments do not effect the
recording.
