AC Power Input
It is best to plug the RDV-1080 directly into a
2-pin polarized wall outlet. Avoid the use of
extension cords.
Your RDV-1080 will automatically configure
itself for the proper AC line voltage ranging
from 110 volts to 240 volts at 50/60Hz. No
setting is required to match the unit to your
local voltage.
Plug the supplied cord into the AC INPUT re-
ceptacle on the back of the unit. After all con-
nections have been made, plug the cord into
an appropriate AC wall outlet.
NOTE
: If you are away from home for an ex-
tended period of time, it is a sensible precau-
tion to unplug your audio/video components.

A motor-driven disc drawer, located in the center
of the RDV-1080, slides out to accept a disc
and retracts for playback. Place the disc in
the drawer label-side up. Make sure the disc
is properly centered in the tray. Do not use
accessory stabilizer devices.
When the disc drawer is closed, pressing the
OPN/CLOSE button opens the drawer. Press
the button again to close the drawer. The drawer
also closes when the PLAY
button is pressed.
In addition, the drawer can also be closed from
the opening On-Screen Display by moving the
cursor over the CLOSE icon and pressing the
ENTER button on the remote.
Playing a Disc
PLAY/SELECT Buttons
Press the PLAY button to start playing the
disc from the beginning. If the disc drawer is
open, it will close automatically.
The PLAY
button always starts play from the
beginning of the disc, except when it is after
the PAUSE
button has been pressed. In this
case, the disc will resume playing from the
current location.
Playback can also be started from the Open-
ing Screen Display by moving the cursor over
the PLAY icon and pressing the ENTER button
on the remote.
Stopping a Disc
STOP/CLEAR Buttons
Press the STOP button to stop a disc that is

POWER button on the remote is pressed.
The RDV-1080 memorizes the point at which
the disc stopped playing, with an option of
resuming play at that point (see RESUME but-
ton, following). This stored position remains
in memory even if the unit is put in standby
mode; however, it is erased from memory when
the disc drawer is opened.
Resuming Play
RESUME Button
The RESUME button restarts playback after it
has been stopped. Instead of playing from the
start of the disc, the RESUME button restarts
play at the last location on the disc when play
was stopped.
