Quick Setup

Selecting this item starts the quick setup pro- cedure. See the previous Quick Setup topic in this manual for details.

Automatic Power Mode (MODE)

The RSDX-02e has a special auto power mode that will activate the RSDX-02e and select a source input when a video component is turned on.

NOTE: Auto power mode is only available for video components connected with SCART cables.

Use the CONTROL buttons to select the desired auto power mode:

•MANUAL: The default setting. Auto power mode is not used and the RSDX-02e oper- ates normally with manual power on/off and source selection

•AUTO 1: When the RSDX-02e is active, turning on a video component or starting VCR playback selects that source input automatically.

•AUTO 2: Provides automatic source se- lection and power on/off as follows:

When a video source is turned on or VCR playback is started and the RSDX-02e is already active, the correct source input is selected. If the RSDX-02e is not turned one, the AUTO 2 mode puts the unit in TV direct mode and selects the correct video input.

When the selected source component is turned off and the RSDX-02e is active or in TV direct mode, the AUTO 2 mode au- tomatically reverts to the last previously used source input.
