IMPORTANT NOTE: When a station is transmitting RDS data, but is manually assigned a different PTY type name, the station will be searchable only by the newly assigned PTY name, not the actual RDS code being transmitted.

Once the Type is set, press the Û Menu Control button iTWICE, so that the highlighted area moves back up to the PSet line. While at this line press the

Store button and note that an instruction will appear at the bottom of the screen (Figure OSD-37). Follow the instruction by pressing the Ü or Ý Menu Control buttons i until the desired preset number appears.

Once the desired preset number has been chosen, press

and hold the Store button until the two-line mes- sage at the bottom of the menu screen disappears. The station is now programmed into the memory system.

At this point you may program other stations, once again using the Úand Û Menu Control buttons i to move through the various options, and then following the instructions shown above for programming that specific menu item. When all tuner programming is complete, press the Menu button j twice to return to normal operation.

Simulcast Operation

With the diverse array of programming available on television, cable, satellite, cassette, CD, DVD, LV and other sources, it may sometimes be desirable to view the video from one source while you listen to the

audio from another. With the flexibility of the 2.0, it

is possible to establish a permanent input source profile that matches different input sources. It is more likely, however, that you will only want to do this on an occasional basis, such as watching a sports broadcast on television while you listen to the play-by-play commentary from a radio station.

The Simulcast feature enables you to split the 2.0’s output between a video and audio source simply and easily for one listening session only.

To watch one source while you listen to another, first select a video source by pressing either the TV, Vid 1, Vid 2 or Vid 3 buttons g on the remote. Next press the Simul button h.

Within five seconds, select the audio source you wish to listen to by pressing the Tuner, CD, Tape or Aux buttons g.

The two sources will be combined and you will see and hear the results on screen and in your speakers.

Note that the Simulcast feature is canceled if you switch to any new input or turn the 2.0 off.

Recording

The flexibility of the Signature 2.0 enables you to not only listen to a wide variety of input sources, it provides for recording of either the same audio and video source selected for listening through the main outputs, or a totally different source.

To establish the settings for recording, go to the Setup Menu by pressing the Menu button j. When the Setup menu appears (Figure OSD-1 or OSD-33) and press the Û Menu Control button iif necessary until Record Outputs > is highlighted. Press the ÝMenu Control button ito move to the next screen.

Input Track Recording

The display message for the Rec Output Menu varies according to the option selected. When the Track Input is highlighted on the Output line (Figure OSD-38), no other information appears. With
