Selecting Source Inputs

Up to six source components, including the built- in DVD player and FM/AM tuner, can be se- lected for listening and/or viewing with the RSDX-02. Selecting a source input can be done from the front panel or the remote control.

Selecting an Input from the Front Panel

To select an input source from the front panel, press any of the six input selector buttons. The name of the selected input appears in the front panel display.

NOTE: When the TAPE/CDR button is pressed, either TAPE or CDR appears in the front panel, depending on which name is assigned to the input. See Changing Input Name below.

Selecting an Input from the Remote

To select an input from the remote control, push any of the input source commands on Page 1 or Page 2.

Four of the inputs (DVD, DBS, TV, CDR) are available on Page 1 of the remote screens. An additional three inputs (FM/AM, TAPE, VCR) are available on Page 2.

The name of the selected source appears in the front panel display.

NOTE: Either the TAPE or the CDR input is avail- able depending on which name has been assigned to the input. See Changing Input Name below.

Changing Input Name

The TAPE/CDR inputs can be used for a CDR (compact disc recorder) or TAPE (analog tape recorder). The correct name (TAPE or CDR) should be correctly assigned to these inputs so that the name appears in the display, so that the INPUT buttons on the remote work as expected, and so that digital inputs are avail- able for use with a CDR. As delivered from the factory, the RSDX-02 has the TAPE name assigned to these inputs. To change the input name to CDR:

1.Select the TAPE/CDR inputs by pressing the TAPE/CDR input button.

2.Press and hold the TAPE/CDR button until the words ASSIGN. CDR appear in the front panel display.
