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. Refer to the instruction manual of your cassette

deck or MD deck if you need help.

1

Select the component to be recorded.

2

Prepare the component for playing.

For example, insert a CD into the CD player.

3

Insert a blank tape or MD into the recording deck

and adjust the recording level, if necessary.

4

Start 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 MD/TAPE REC OUT jacks.

• Sound adjustments do not affect the signal output from the

Naming Preset Stations and

Program Sources

You can enter a name (index 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/TAPE jacks.

1

To name a preset station

Press TUNER.

The last station you received is tuned in.

To name a program source

Select the program source (component) to be

named, then go to Step 3.

2

Tune 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 41.

3

Press NAME.

4

Create 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 (you can find the space character 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.

5

Press ENTER.

To assign index names to other stations

Repeat Steps 2 to 5.

Note

You cannot change the name of an RDS station.
