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 amplifier 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 or a DVD player to the LD jacks).
