Indexing
You can index preset stations and then use the index
names to scan specific stations in the preset memory.
You can also use the index feature to label program
sources so that the receiver displays the names of the
components you connected, for example, “VHS”.
Indexing preset stations
This receiver includes a feature that lets you group
preset stations by name (station index) using up to 8
characters.
For example, if you label all of your preset jazz stations
“JAZZ,” selecting “JAZZ” lets you skip other presets
and scan only the stations labeled “JAZZ.” Note that
you cannot assign more than one station index name to
each preset station.
