Naming Preset Channels
While receiving a preset FM or AM station, a maximum of 8 characters consisting of letters, numbers and some symbols
can be stored, for example to represent the station name.
You cannot assign a name to the RDS station (for European model) and the XM/SIRIUS Radio channel (for North
American model).
The input display name can be changed in the same sequence as described below. (Note that changing the input display
name does not change the input source.)
As an example, assume an FM station with a frequency
of 89.50 MHz has been stored in preset number 2 and
will be given the name “ONKYO.”
Note:
• Press the [DISPLAY] button when you wish to check
the frequency while you are entering the characters.
• To delete the name, press and hold down the
[CHARACTER] button for approximately 3 seconds
while displaying the name.
Characters which can be entered: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 – * /
Note: indicates a space.
