Connecting the Power/Basic Operations
• Before you plug in the RDC-7.1, confirm that all connections have been made properly.
• Turning on the power may cause a momentary power surge, which might interfere with other electrical equipment
on the same circuit, such as computers. If this happens, use a wall outlet on a different circuit.
• The RDC-7.1 is shipped with the main power (Power) switch in the on position ( ). When the power cord is
plugged in for the first time, the RDC-7.1 will automatically enter the standby state and the [Standby] indicator will
light (same condition after step 2 below on the left column).
Note:
Any components connected via will also be turned
on when the remote controller’s [On] button is pressed.
