Sony STR-D650Z manual 13EN, Indexing program sources, Recording on an audio tape or MiniDisc

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).

1Press the FUNCTION button you want to label.

2Press DPC MODE repeatedly until the INDEX indicator lights up.

3Create 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.

1Press one of the function buttons to select the component to be recorded.

2Set the component to be ready for playing. For example, insert a CD into the CD player.

3Insert a blank tape into the recording deck and adjust the recording level, if necessary.

4Start 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.
