AC Power Input

It is best to plug the RDV-1080 directly into a 2-pin polarized wall outlet. Avoid the use of extension cords.

Your RDV-1080 will automatically configure itself for the proper AC line voltage ranging from 110 volts to 240 volts at 50/60Hz. No setting is required to match the unit to your local voltage.

Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT receptacle on the back of the unit. After all connections have been made, plug the cord into an appropriate AC wall outlet.

NOTE: If you are away from home for an extended period of time, it is a sensible precaution to unplug your audio/video components.

Basic Operation

The RDV-1080 can be operated using its front- panel buttons or from corresponding buttons on the supplied infrared remote control. Specific instructions for each of the basic operating controls are detailed here. Additional fea- tures, as well as settings available from the On-Screen Displays are described in later sections of the manual.

Press either button again to put the RDV-1080 in standby mode; the display turns off and the LED illuminates.

Pressing the OPN/CLOSE button or PLAY will also activate the unit from standby mode.

NOTE: You can choose to use an Auto Standby function that puts the unit in standby mode after 30 or 60 minutes of inactivity. See the Setting Preferences section of this manual.

Disc Drawer OPN/CLOSE Button

A motor-driven disc drawer, located in the center of the RDV-1080, slides out to accept a disc and retracts for playback. Place the disc in the drawer label-side up. Make sure the disc is properly centered in the tray. Do not use accessory stabilizer devices.

When the disc drawer is closed, pressing the OPN/CLOSE button opens the drawer. Press the button again to close the drawer. The drawer also closes when the PLAY button is pressed.

In addition, the drawer can also be closed from the opening On-Screen Display by moving the cursor over the CLOSE icon and pressing the ENTER button on the remote.

Playing a Disc PLAY/SELECT Buttons

Press the PLAY button to start playing the disc from the beginning. If the disc drawer is open, it will close automatically.

The PLAY button always starts play from the beginning of the disc, except when it is after the PAUSE button has been pressed. In this case, the disc will resume playing from the current location.

Playback can also be started from the Opening Screen Display by moving the cursor over the PLAY icon and pressing the ENTER button on the remote.

Stopping a Disc STOP/CLEAR Buttons

Press the STOP button to stop a disc that is playing. Playback will also stop when the DVD POWER button on the remote is pressed.

The RDV-1080 memorizes the point at which the disc stopped playing, with an option of resuming play at that point (see RESUME but- ton, following). This stored position remains in memory even if the unit is put in standby mode; however, it is erased from memory when the disc drawer is opened.

Resuming Play

RESUME Button

The RESUME button restarts playback after it has been stopped. Instead of playing from the start of the disc, the RESUME button restarts play at the last location on the disc when play was stopped.
