VCR or Digital Video Recorder

See Figure 6

This section describes the hook-up of hi-fi VCRs with audio and video outputs. VCRs connected with RF antenna cables are connected directly to the TV, not to the RSDX-02e.

Output connections:

Connect the output of the VCR to the VCR con- nector on the RSDX-02e with a SCART cable. This cable can carry composite, S-Video, or RGB video signals as well as left/right ste- reo analog audio signals.

Input connections:

To record composite video signals from the RSDX-02e on your VCR, no additional connnections are required. However, to record Y-C (S-Video) or RGB video signals from an STB receiver, you must connect a second SCART cable from the output of the STB receiver di- rectly to the input of the VCR.

Digital Audio connection (for digital video recorders):

If your video recorder has a digital audio output, you should connect it to the RSDX-02e for play- back of Dolby Digital recordings.

1.If the video recorder has a coax digital out- put, connect it to the DIGITAL 1 (STB) in- put on the RSDX-02e using a coax digital cable. The RSDX-02e will need to be reconfigured to associate this input with the VCR input. See the Setup section of this manual.

2.If the video recorder has an optical digi- tal output, connect it to the DIGITAL 2 (TV) input on the RSDX-02e using an opti- cal digital cable. The RSDX-02e will need to be reconfigured to associate this input with the VCR input. See the Setup section of this manual.

3.Connect the DIGITAL OUT connector on the RSDX-02e to the digital input on the video recorder with an optical digital cable.

CD Player/CDR Recorder

See Figure 5

Audio Connections:

1.Connect the left and right analog audio outputs from a CD/CDR to the LEFT/RIGHT AUDIO TAPE/CDR IN jacks on the RSDX-02e with a standard RCA stereo au- dio cable.

2.With a CDR recorder, connect the LEFT/ RIGHT AUDIO TAPE/CDR OUT jacks to the audio inputs on the CDR.

Digital Audio connections:

If your CD/CDR has digital audio connections, you should connect them to the RSDX-02e.

1.If the CD/CDR has a coax digital output, connect it to the DIGITAL 1 (STB) input on the RSDX-02e using a coax digital cable. The RSDX-02e will need to be reconfigured to associate this input with the TAPE/CDR input. See the Setup section of this manual.

2.If the CD/CDR has an optical digital out- put, connect it to the DIGITAL 2 (TV) input on the RSDX-02e using an optical digital cable. The RSDX-02e will need to be reconfigured to associate this input with the TAPE/CDR input. See the Setup section of this manual.

3.When using a CDR recorder, connect the

DIGITAL OUT connector on the RSDX-02e to the digital input on the CDR with an optical digital cable.

NOTE: No video connections are required for an CD player/CDR recorder.

Audio Tape Recorder

See Figure 7

Audio Connections:

1.Connect the left and right analog audio outputs from the audio recorder to the LEFT/ RIGHT AUDIO TAPE/CDR IN jacks on the RSDX-02e with a standard RCA stereo audio cable.

2.Connect the LEFT/RIGHT AUDIO TAPE/ CDR OUT jacks to the audio inputs on the tape recorder.

NOTE: No video or digital connections are required for an audio tape recorder.

AM Antenna

See Figure 8

The RSDX-02e includes a plastic loop antenna to receive AM radio signals. Remove this antenna from the box and locate it near the RSDX-02e. It can be tacked to a wall, using the mounting tab provided. Alternatively, you can fold the center portion of the antenna to form a tabletop stand.

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-02e is supplied with a T-shaped in- door FM antenna. Connect the coax F-type plug to the FM antenna connector on the RSDX-02e. 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-02e 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-02e is disconnected from AC power.
