Naming Preset Stations and Program Sources

You can enter a name of up to 8 characters for preset stations and program sources. These names (for 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.

1To index a preset station

Rotate FUNCTION to select the tuner.

The last station you received is tuned in.

To index a program source

Select the program source (component) to be named, then go to Step 3.

2Tune in the preset station you want to create an index name for.

If you are not familiar with how to tune in preset stations, see “Tuning to preset stations” on page 46.

3Press NAME.

4Create an index name by using the jog dial and cursor buttons:

Turn the jog dial to select a character, then press to move the cursor to the next position.

To insert a space

Turn the jog dial until a blank space appears in the display (the space character is between “??” and “A”).

If you’ve made a mistake

Press or repeatedly until the character to be changed flashes, then turn the jog dial to select the

right character.

5Press ENTER.

To assign index names to other stations

Repeat Steps 2 to 5.

Note

(Models of area code CED only)

You cannot change the name of an RDS station.

Recording

Your receiver makes it easy to record to and from the components connected to it. You don’t have to connect the playback and recording components directly to each other: 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 or MiniDisc using the receiver. See the instruction manual of your cassette deck or MD deck if you need help.

1Select the component to be recorded.

2Prepare the component for playing.

For example, insert a CD into the CD player.

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

4Start recording on the recording deck, then start playback on the playback component.

Notes

You cannot record a digital audio signal using a component connected to the analog TAPE OUT or MD/DAT OUT jacks (STR-DB940) or the analog MD/TAPE OUT jacks (STR-DB840). To record a digital audio signal, connect a digital component to the DIGITAL MD/DAT OUT jacks

(STR-DB940) or the DIGITAL MD/TAPE OUT jacks

(STR-DB840).

Sound adjustments do not affect the signal output from the TAPE OUT or MD/DAT OUT jacks (STR-DB940) or the MD/ TAPE OUT jacks (STR-DB840).
