RSDX-02DVD Receiver

Connect the 300 ohm twin-conductor wire from the loop antenna to the push terminals labeled AM LOOP, attaching one wire to each termi- nal. It does not matter which wire attaches to which terminal, but make sure that the con- nections are solid and that the two wires do not touch.

You may need to rotate or otherwise reorient the antenna to find the best position.

NOTE: To use an outdoor antenna, connect its 300 ohm twin-conductor wire to the termi- nals in place of the loop antenna.

FM Antenna

See Figure 9

The RSDX-02 is supplied with a T-shaped indoor FM antenna. Connect the coax F-type plug to the FM antenna connector on the RSDX-02. For best reception, unfold the T-shaped antenna. Eyelets at both ends of the T allow tacking the antenna to a wall, if desired. Experiment with positioning for best reception.

NOTE: To use an outdoor antenna, connect its 75 ohm coax lead wire to the FM connector instead of the indoor wire antenna, only af- ter a professional contractor has installed the antenna system in accordance with local elec- trical codes.

AC Input

Your RSDX-02 is configured at the factory for the proper AC line voltage in the country where you purchased it (USA: 115 volts/60Hz AC or CE: 230 volts /50 Hz AC ). The AC line configuration is noted on a decal on the back of your unit.

Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT receptacle on the back of the unit. Then, plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet.

NOTE: Memorized settings and video labels are preserved indefinitely, even if the RSDX-02 is disconnected from AC power.

OPERATING THE RSDX-02

Considering its large number of features, the RSDX-02 is easy to operate.

The RSDX-02 can be operated from the front panel or the remote control. Front panel con- trols are simple to use, with just a few buttons, some of which guide you through menu op- tions. The remote control provides more com- plete control options.

This section of the manual starts with explain- ing the basic layout and function of the front panel and the remote control. Then, we ex- plain the basic operations such as turning the unit on and off, adjusting volume, selecting a source for listening, etc. Following this are sections covering the operation of the built-in DVD player and AM/FM tuner.

Throughout this manual, numbers in gray boxes refer to the RSDX-02 illustration at the front of this manual. Letters refer to the RR-1070 re- mote illustration. When both appear, the func- tion is found on both the RSDX-02 and the re- mote. When only one appears, that function is found only on the RSDX-02 or the remote.

Front Panel Overview

The following is a brief overview of the con- trol and features on the front panel of the RSDX-02. Details concerning the use of these controls are provided in subsequent sections of this manual describing various tasks.

STANDBY Button

The front panel STANDBY button works as a power switch, activating the unit (ON) or putting it into a standby mode (OFF).

DVD Drawer

A slide-out drawer for inserting DVDs.

Input Buttons

Press any of the six buttons to select and source for listening/viewing: DVD, DBS, VCR, TV, TAPE/CDR, or AM/FM.

VOLUME Control

The large knob at the right side of the front panel is the master VOLUME control, adjust- ing the output level of all channels simulta- neously.

DVD Audio LED

An LED indicator lights when a DVD Audio disc is playing.

INPUT AG/DG Button

Selects either the digital input or the analog audio input for the currently selected source. Normally, this button can be left in the default DIGITAL AUTO mode which will use the digi- tal input, switching only to the analog input if no digital signal is present.

NOTE: The INPUT AG/DG button is also used to reduce the input level for an analog input to match the other input levels or reduce dis- tortion.

SURROUND ON/OFF Button

Selects either 2-channel STEREO mode or multi- channel SURROUND MODE for the currently selected source.

NOTE: The surround mode is memorized in- dependently for each INPUT button.

SURROUND MODE Button

Sets the desired multi-channel surround mode for 2-channel stereo inputs. Surround modes for multichannel inputs (such as Dolby Digital

5.1and DTS 5.1) are generally activated automatically.

NOTE: The SURROUND MODE button is also used to activate a special record mode which allows recording a 2-channel downmix from multi-channel digital inputs.

LCD Display

In the center of the front panel is an LCD dis- play. The display provides status information while operating the unit.

NOTE: The TAPE/CDR button is also used when programming a custom name for an input source.
