OPERATING THE RSDX-02e

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

The RSDX-02e 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-02e 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-02e and the remote. When only one appears, that func- tion is found only on the RSDX-02e or the re- mote.
