ROTEL RSDX-02e - Manual (Page 18)

18 RSDX-02e DVD Receiver
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.
