Just noticed this in the v8 User Guide :

"Your installer may have customised the labels displayed for each source to suit your other equipment."

As I have yet to meet a dealer who actually knows how to do this I do find it odd to include it in the manual. Perhaps it would be better to provide a Technical Note with recommended procedure that users or dealers could use to improve labelling?

VCR 2 and LP or Tape and Aux could certainly do with being updated on my system. Pressing VCR 2, for example, selects the Oppo BD Player displaying 'Oppo' on 861 and
'VCR 2' on the Centre Master Speaker. Hardly ideal for nervous or young users and not befitting the magnificent (and expensive ! ) systems which M create.

Please can we have blow by blow instructions on how to do this safely and reliably?

Many cheap HTIBs allow this already.

Mostly harmless. Comfortably numb.
