1To index a preset station

Press AUDIO FUNCTION repeatedly until the TUNER indicator lights up.

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 for.

If you are not familiar with how to tune in preset stations, see “Tuning preset stations (preset tuning)” on page 16.

3Press DPC MODE repeatedly until the INDEX indicator lights up.

4Create an index name by using the digital processing control buttons as follows:

Pressorto select a character, and then press to move the cursor to the next position.

The index name is stored automatically.

To insert a space

Pressoruntil a blank space appears in the display (the space is between “"” and “A” (STR- DE915/DE715/D660Z) or “]” and “A” (STR- DE615/D560Z)).

If you’ve made a mistake

Press or repeatedly until the character you want to change flashes. Then select the right character.

To assign index names to other stations

Repeat Steps 2 to 4.

zYou can display either the preset station name (program source name) or frequency (component originally meant for the selected jacks)

Each time you press DISPLAY, the display switches between the frequency (or component originally meant for the selected jacks) and the preset station name (program source name).

zYou can create an index name for the component connected to the 5.1 INPUT jacks (STR-DE715/DE615/ D660Z/D560Z only)

Press 5.1/DVD INPUT and do the procedure above starting from Step 3.

Receiver Operations

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.

1Select 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 or an MD into the recording deck and adjust the recording level, if necessary.

4Start recording on the recording deck and then start playing the component.

Notes

You cannot record analog audio signal from a program source connected to the LD/DVD IN AC-3 RF/OPTICAL, LD/DVD jack (STR-DE915 only), or 5.1 INPUT jacks (STR- DE715/DE615/D660Z/D560Z only).

Sound adjustments do not affect the signal output from the DAT/MD OUT OPTICAL jack (STR-DE915 only), TAPE REC OUT jacks, and DAT/MD REC OUT jacks .
