OVERVIEW
Basic controls for the RDV-03 are on the front
panel. These controls are duplicated on the
remote control along with many more.
To guide you through the operation of the
RDV-03, this section of the manual starts with
explaining the basic layout and function of
the front panel and the remote control. In
the following section,
Using the RDV-03
, we
explain the features of the unit and how to
operate them.
Throughout this manual, numbers in gray
boxes refer to the RDV-03 illustration (Figure
1) at the front of this manual. Letters refer to
the RR-DV97 remote illustration (Figure 2).
When both appear, the function is found on
both the RDV-03 and the remote. When only
one appears, that function is found only on
the RDV-03 or the remote.
On-Screen Display
The RDV-03 displays icons, status indicators,
and interactive menus on the TV monitor. Many
of these screens are used to set up preferences
and activate advanced features of the unit.
Others offer information and choices useful
during normal operation of the unit.
NOTE
:
The default language for all RDV-03
On-Screen Displays can be changed. See
the Initial Setup topic or the Language menu
in the Setup section of this manual.
Status Indicators
During operation of the unit, various status in-
dicators appear on screen such as NO DISC,
LOADING, PLAY, PAUSE, etc. These informa-
tion displays are self-explanatory.
Selection Indicators
When using specific features during playback
(such as Language selection, Time Display,
Repeat Mode, etc.), status bars appear in the
On-Screen Display showing the current status
of that feature as you make changes.

Several different menu screens can appear
during configuration of the RDV-03 such as

pressed.
